What article did you read?
Where was the article?

He could be talking about the Waterwisp.

I didn't see, so I didn't follow his link, and have no intention of
looking for it, but simply from the information at hand, I suspect he
may be talking about keel flies...there was at least one book in the 70s
about these...I've "tied" (really, made - it's more that a tie) snagless
Sallies for bass this way. *Keels are a special-purpose fly/lure, on a
special hook, and unless recipe supports it and *the reason is there,
there's, um, well, no reason. *And in fact, simply tying any ol' fly
upside down can take a decent recipe and **** it up.

Some searches on Google using the terms "upside down fly" and "USDB"
will return several pages. For starters you can take a look at:

it's gives a good review of the History of Upside Down Patterns as
well as some patterns.
