I may sound like a broken record here BUT I like Aunt Lydia's red or cranberry yarn.
I have also used red Christmas tinsel and red holographic crystal flash successfully.
I'll send you as sample of Aunt Lydia's red, and Red tinsel or Christmas garland (whichever I can put my hands on) if you like.

Hi VFBees,
I would like to collect your suggestions on how to tie reddish gills onto a streamer/baitfish pattern.
Of course, it all depends on whether you're tying for the fish (Red nail polish) or for the other fly tyers (difficult weavings/dubbings/yarn/phentex/exotic red stuff/etc.)
Personally, I think Sally Hansen's "Hard as nails" or whatever it's called makes a perfect addition to a fly.
