Playing around with Allan Liddle’s Golden Ordie. Couldn’t get a decent distribution of the collar using that method so I’m looking for alternatives to the tying sequence.
hook – WFC Model 6 #8
thread - Danville 6/0 black
tail - golden pheasant crest
rib - small wire silver
body - dubbing black
body hackle - black
collar - Starburst (Flytyer’s Dungeon product) copper
Mash barb/start thread; wrap to bend

Tie in tinsel, brush bend with Super Glue, wrap down and back; tie off/trim


Measure (gap width pat bend) crest feather; tie in


Tie in rib

Dub thread/dub body


Tie in hackle, wrap to bend


Capture tip of hackle with rib, continue thru to head; helicopter end/cover with thread, trim hackle tip

Give body/hackle a good scrub


Even tips on a hank of Starburst fibers, push around hook at eye, trying to surround shank; tie down



Pull the fibers facing forward to the rear, again trying to encircle shank; tie down, whip finish


Pull fibers forward, trim to length (hook length worked best)


Hit it with a hair dryer, SHHAN

Scott
