The Meat Whistle (#4-8) is tied on a jig hook so that it rides hook point up. This fly is designed to be fished on the bottom and hopped along like a crayfish. Fish are used to seeing flies stripped through the water column but not hopped along the bottom. You can strip or dead-drift it as well. Many rivers have good populations of crayfish; however, they are often nocturnal or hidden under rocks so many fisherman are not aware of them.
