A blend of flash, movement, and classic streamer architecture, the Rainy’s CF Whistler is built to pull aggressive predators out of hiding. Designed to move water and light with every strip, this fly combines bulk and silhouette with a seductive pulse that works in both freshwater and salt. Whether you're throwing into stained water or over submerged structure, the CF Whistler gets noticed—fast.
Originally inspired by Lefty’s iconic Whistler pattern, this version maintains that signature jigging motion with added modern materials for extra flash and durability. Perfect for chasing pike, muskie, bass, stripers, redfish, and snook, it performs best when retrieved with authority.
