@sniperfreak223 There is no real "right or wrong" place to tie the eyes in. The farther forward they are the more the fly will nose dive and act like a jig (which is what makes this such a great fly, most you see are like this). Farther back towards the hook bend will give you a more level drop.
Yes, the eyes are tied on the top (what's done in the video) so that it rolls the fly over and has the hook ride up. If you tie the eyes on the bottom (opposite of the video) then more often than not it will ride hook down.
@cancerkid888 It's pretty tough to beat the purple/white or silver color there. Alot of shiners and things like that in places like you're talking about give off those purple hues. Chartreuse/White and Green/Tan as baby bass can be pretty effective too.
That's not a smallmouth lol

your eyes look a little too far forward...the original pattern has the eyes further back, almost at the halfway point on a stinger-type hook.

If you tie the eyes on the bottom will the hook be on the bottom
