The Golden Girl is a derivative of the Green Butt devised by Dave Goulet. 

A white or yellow throat hackle may be substituted to give a change of emphasis.

Dave Goulet of New Hartford, originated this pattern

Fish Flies: The Encyclopedia of the Fly Tier's Art - Terry Hellekson

I ran out of jungle cock late last year when I tied the other pattern above. My bad.

I went through every black hackle I own looking for "black hackle with a green tinge" and nope. None!

I also prefer a "beard" style throat hackle. If YOU prefer a different method that's entirely up to YOU! 

Defeo style, collar style and pulled down etc.

Dave Goulet owned a fly shop here in Connecticut and had the luxury of picking out the cream of the crop of tying materials. Most of us don't even have a local fly shop nearby.
