Modified Meat Whistle . .
Hi All,
I thought I would post a pic to my latest. I wanted to tie Barr's Meat Whistle, but did not want to spring for the correct hooks yet. So I tied it clouser style. I know, Barr's does not have rubber legs but I added a few. It's on a #1 Mustad 3366.
Take a look . . .

Nice fly! I really like that! Could you do a FOTM? I need to tie a half dozen of those in cream and brown for the gulf, they look like a good crab imitation.
I was not familiar with this fly so I googled "Meat Whistle" . After I weeded out the porn sites I found this site that has a fairly good picture and a list of ingredients.

The one in the pic above is easy.

Dumbbell eyes mounted a bit toward the eye.
zonker strip tail
Wrapped gold tinsel body but you can't see it
palmered marabou collar
I was not sure how to finish up a good front end. I ended up coating the area around the eyes with Hard Head.

Nice tie. It's a good variation on the original.
Barr's original pattern is tied on a Gamakatsu 90 degree jig hook, in a size 3/0 to 1/0, and sports a copper cone head. In his book, he does it in rust, olive, and black. Like the one above, it looks deadly. I'm gonna have to tie up some of both.

Nice looking fly!
