This version of Fool's Gold was tied by Salmonfly.Net Contributing Fly Tyer William Lovelace for the Salmonfly.Net issue "All that Glitters is not Gold". In this case we have one of the exceptions in a fly tied with a gold tinsel body.

Bill's Notes: This Mike Kennedy pattern came from my first fly pattern book a claw bound 1970 typed mimeographed copy of Roy Patrick’s Pacific Northwest Fly Patterns.
