Visit sourceDan Blanton put bead chain eyes on a streamer and discovered that fish in murky water respond to sound the way teenagers respond to their phones -- instantly and without rational thought. The Whistler pushes water, creates vibration, and presents a silhouette that predators can find even when visibility is measured in inches. In Louisiana marsh water the color of sweet tea, this fly is a sonar beacon.
