Blanton's Flashtail Whistler SBS
http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/...psa963a063.jpg
Another one from Dan Blanton, tied here in fire tiger colors. I believe the fly got it's name from the sound it made flying through the air; with a weighted shank (optional), it'd be nice to hear that thing coming so you'd have time to duck.
