Author's Note

Lakefork Orange is mentioned in Bruce Ferguson, Les Johnson, and Pat Trotters book, Fly Fishing for Pacific Salmon (which see), attributed to Don Hathaway, who tied it for the Salmon River in Idaho. This variation has a yellow collar and a touch of lime Krystal flash instead of a yellow Golden Pheasant crest topping.

*I used both the krystal flash and golden pheasant crest topping.
