This is a very unique pattern, and for that reason we don’t recommend any substitutions except one. Go ahead and follow the recipe closely on this big hunk of meat to achieve the correct result, and catch lots of aggressive fish!
Legs: Any rubber leg equivalent to Crazy Legs, such as Sili Legs in a similar color, will work just fine.
As far as variations go on this pattern there is noting too crazy to change up. Switching up the colors is always a good idea when you’re tying streamers because the color can make all the difference in the world. Try olive, tan, and black for trout. If you’re bass fishing all of those other colors will work but orange, and chartreuse are also solid choices. Having a couple sizes will benefit you as well.
This pattern is extremely versatile; so wherever, whenever, and for whatever fish, make sure you have some of these in your streamer box. The marabou, rabbit, and rubber legs create irresistible in water movement, and pulsation. Matched up with the flash, this bug is an all around winner. Whether it’s bass or trout this should be one of your go to confidence flies.
Fish the Meat Whistle low and slow. Close to the bottom, and stripped gradually is the name of the game with this fly. You’re bound to get some overly aggressive takes no matter which species you happen to be after. You can also tie some tippet on to the shank of the hook and fish a smaller streamer behind it if you’re into that kind of thing.
