Yup, makes a lot of sense. Its just htat I had always assumed the currents to be a lot weaker than they really are, hence my fear of tying a fly point down.

Try tying lead eyes to the top of the hook near the bend. It'll keep the
weight on top of the hook so the point stays up. And for hellies floating
downstream, presentation going forward or backward doesn't matter since the
naturals are basically tumbling in the current.

Does that make any sense?
