I like to use white or black saddle hackles, red thread, clear nail polish and a little pearl flashabou.
You need some kind of vise, visegrips will work. A bobbin is also useful
Wrap some thread on the hook, put some nail polish on. Then I put two saddles against one side and wrap to hold, then same on other side. I put two strands of flashabou in and then tie it off.
If you search in flytying you can find some good visuals.
You can make it a lot more complicated if you want but I have found the fish don't care.
