Don't know about hot red hair ear but a red head scud will certainly do the trick on taney

    Boys I have been searching for these after this posting this subject.

So many similar patterns ... blow torch is another good one... guides choice also

New pattern names always intrigue me, I am compelled to look them out, although most of my flies aren't really patterns, they just happen. I've tied similar to the above lots of times but with no bead and no collar and what ever yarn or dubbing is at hand with what ever soft hackle is at hand. With or without tails.  One thing I always do  though is to counter wrap any ribbing, unlike many of the video tyers who wrap the rib in the same direction as the dubbing, so that it has more of a tendency to bury itself. Typically I prefer  a corded thread rib to a flat/floss rib, I think the third dimension makes the rib more visible, same reason I prefer wire to tinsel for rib.

                    I can see all your attributes you speak of. One thing I try to keep in mind is I want it to look like something natural even if it has a hotspot or other thing to grab the eye of the fish. Another thing is symmetry which goes back to something natural. We have to face it a fish will hit a wad of fuzz if its hungry.

to look like something natural

If it even suggests something natural it will work. Follow the proportions that tyers figured out two hundred  years ago for wets/nymphs and those figured out a hundred years ago for dries  and make all the streamers have Cardinal Minnow or chub or sculpin  shape with some wiggle. Provide contrast were natural things have contrast like olive back over cream belly for a streamer with perhaps a lateral line. Ribbing on most flies is there to simulate segmentation, so it should have some contrast. Buried in the dubbing it doesn't add much to the fly.

So much has to do with silhouette/profile,  but it's important to remember that most of what trout eat is 1/2" long and gray/brown. Often skinny too. I also think that within reason shades of color matter more than hue in subsurface presentation, and that neither maters greatly if the fly is above the film.

I've done a lot of casual experimentation in trying to find what flies won't work over the years, and my stand out as "the fly that just won't catch a fish" is the yarn  egg/fuzz ball/glow ball; yet thousands of trout are hooked them daily.  But I never could catch a trout on corn either.

I'm pretty sure that hot spots are for the angler's eye as much as for the fish, just think of all the fish caught before hot spots were invented.

      Yet chartreuse is the bomb on many, many fish. Something about colors do trigger fish. Red is another. I do either a pink/white/chartreuse or one with a red head. I have caught more fish on that as any other color wooly bugger.
