Has anyone got a dressing for this fly? I believe it's a bumble type pattern.
I'm off to fish lough Corrib soon and have been told to take some with me.
Thanks in advance.

Mr. Vincent O'Sullivan gave me my first Jungle Bunny, saying 'it is a very fine fly to have on Currane'. Rod.

Grasshopper Here is image as promised, dressing is as thewickedpickett said. I have tied JC cheeks level but have also seen it tied with a single JC feather tied roof-style. Hope this helps. Gerry

Hi Gerry,
That's brilliant! Great photo of what looks like a superb fly.
I'll tie some up and give it a go on the Corrib next week. I'm hoping to fish Currane in Mid June so will try it there also.
Many thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. It's the sharing of information that makes this site so enjoyable!
Thanks again Gents.
