How to tie the White
Akroyd
By Jonas Andersson
Let’s start with the hook,
for making this an simple guide I have chosen to use size 1/0
1. Mustad 80500B Salmon
hook. First of all add the thread to the hook as follows.
2. The next thing to do
is adding the back tinsel.
3. Wrap the tinsel
forward to the hook point and secure (leave no gaps!).
4. Now you have to
choose a matching topping from a Golden Pheasant, put it between you fingers and hold
against the top of the hook. Make three rounds with the thread, have a look so it’s
in place and then correct and secure.
5. Now it’s time
for the small Jungle Cock feathers, one of each side of the topping, but place them a bit
above.
6. The next thing to add
is the black Ostrich herl. Tie it in and make 3-4 round and secure make sure the fibres
are pointing backwards. Correct them if they are pointing in the wrong direction.
7. Now it’s time to
add some stuff. Start with adding the yellow cock feather, then I usually ad one 10 cm of
small oval gold tinsel and one 10 cm small silver and last 10 cm medium oval silver
tinsel.
8. For the body add 1/3
of yellow/gold seal dubbing.
9. After you have
secured the yellow/gold seal dubbing 1/3 of the hook it’s time for the tinsels I
usually start with the medium silver tinsel, 2 rounds and secure. Then I take the small
oval silver tinsel besides the medium tinsel 2 rounds and secure. Now you take the small
oval gold tinsel reverse round over the two other tinsel 2 rounds and secure.
10. Now take the Yellow
cock feather and wrap 3 round pushing all fibres backwards and secure.
