Tony, Murf....this is one case where the fish do care. Apparently they've done some test, (who they are is beynd me, lol) and discovered that real jungle cock nails have an irridesent glow in the dark ability built right in. So any "fake" attempts at mimmicking them, is frought with failure. I guess it was found that fished deep they really help attract fish. I got this from a friend, fellow tyer from Scottland, and had it confirmed by Wes Wada. Course i spose if your only gonna frame the fly......what the hey. And it is not to say if fished correctly, it simply wown't work. so maybe not that frought, lol. But for sure you can't get that what nature built in. Unless.........you use dayglow paint perhaps. mark

Orange, Yellow, Starling, Crow !!!! the fish don't care. Somewhere in my rat pack of stuff, I have a packet of some I made up years ago before I got a JC neck. My JC neck came from Barry Beck when he and Kathy ran Becky's Fly Shop in Pa.

This is where your crow or starling feathers come in.
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.
