Take a small feather the size you need for the size fly you are tying. With white paint put two spots of white on the feather like they are on a JC nail. On the outer spot, put a spot of yellow in the middle of it. A faux JC nail.

Gee-whiz Ray, I have $2-3k in tying materials but no orange floss or golden pheasant or jungle cock, imitation or real. I could tie something in the neighborhood, but that junglecock eye is a challenge if it is to be anywhere near the picture as I am thinking hard what to substitute. I could get kind of close except for the junglecock eye/gill effect I believe. Let me ponder this a bit. BTW, the largest hooks I have are about #6 streamer of the 100 plus variations in the hook file here.
Deb! Byard! Advice on tying these critters please. I know Byard's sig fly is in the general direction and Deb has tied some fancy salmon flys so this should be a breeeze. Okay, I admit that I only tie what I want to fish with but Ray has tied me some special stuff in the past which I still have and Ray wants a GG so Ray's getting a GG.
What the.....what's this fly in my special box? Could it be? No way! Can't send this one, he'd recognize the tyer! ;-)))
