Created by the baseball player Roxy Roach & appears in Joseph Bate's Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing, pgs 328-9. It appeals to me as it uses cheap materials in the squirrel tail and ubiquitous mallard breast feathers. I cheated a bit as it calls for white duck breast, but I used Mallard. I'm sure the fish wont care. 
Tail: A very small bunch of fibers from a mandarin duck breast feather
Ribbing: Narrow flat gold tinsel
Body: Wound very thin with olive-yellow silk
Throat: A narrow section of a red duck wing feather about one-third as long as the wing, over which is a Plymouth Rock saddle hackle tied on as a collar and then gathered downward. The hackle should be as long as the duck feather and should be sparsely dressed
Wing: A small bunch of gray squirrel tail hair
Shoulders: Each a white duck breast feather, about one-third as long as the wing
Head: Black
