This fly was the result of wanting to tie a Barr’s Meat Whistle to fish in my buddy Adam’s family farm pond yesterday but not having the proper materials to follow recipe exactly. I’ve got to admit that I didn’t catch a fish on it but it sure did look good in the water.

It will happen, nice fly deisgn. I need to try Finnish raccoon and arctic fox body fur for some of my ties. That’s a keeper!

You should! It’s easy to use, looks great in the water and also makes great dubbing.
seems like you’re finally getting some action, rodwise. cheers!
and that’s one cool punk of a fly.
Thanks!
I’m getting out a bit more now that the wife’s feeling better.
