I tie it with a slight variance (using black deer hair for the back instead of the Jungle Cock). I have the best success fishing in late summer to imitate a terrestrial insect trapped inside the film - its most distinctive feature being the wide "footprint" of legs spread out and struggling. <br /><br />I consider this footprint the most important feature of the Jassid, or indeed any beetle imitation (I most respectfully disagree with Mr. Marinaro on the color of the elytra of the "beetle" - in my honest opinion the color does not matter, as the fish can't see the top of the fly anyhow).<br /> <br />Cheers!<br /><br />J.

Color (black I guess)?
