Notes
A soft hackle pattern all in orange, adapted from a crab larvae pattern used in salt water estuaries. Dean Mitchell developed it for Cutthroat in the Fraser Valley, where it has proved quite successful alongside his standard patterns. The counter-wound silver wire adds durability against the cutthroat's teeth.
