It's hard to get a fly to ride hook point up without weighting the top of the hook like like Dean_mt stated. It's a physics thing.lol
Placing a weight ontop can flip the hook keel but now it will sink nose first. Pretty natural as most fish dive nose first
. Using a wire under body, wrapping the wire with lead, then pulling minnow body braid over the lead wrapped wire will place the weight rearward. You will have to experiment as the bigger the hook, the more weight needed and the braided rope only comes so big. I've never weighted that wire but the thought has crossed my mind in the past.
It would look like this Davy Wotton fly with hook up and overly complex for my taste.lol
