Hi David, great pattern, i must say this fly does catch a lot of fish in all types of water, and in all colours, crazy isn't it, Regards Alan

Hi Calum,
Putting the chain bead on top will cause the hook to fish inverted in the water so the actual bend of the hook is towards the surface. Having it underneath allows the hook to be fish the correct way up.
I say correct but there is no right and wrong way to have it. If you were fishing in a weedy pond then you may want the fly to flip to minimise snags.
Best Regards,
~David
