Jassids:
Flies of Jassid type usually have a small Jungle
Cock eye feather, or similar substitute feather,
tied flat on top to simulate the folded wings of
various small leaf and tree hoppers. To
strengthen the J.C.F. feathers, a coating of
clear plastic lacquer is sometimes appled.
Pheasant and Quail as well as Partridge body
feather tips doped with lacquer and formed by
pulling fibers together while lacquer dries are
good substitues. Word Jassid derived from old
nomenclature Jassidea.
Jay Hackle:
Prepared by carefully slicing a portion of the
rib of a wing covert feather of a Bluejay,
leaving the fibers intact, this strip then wound
on a hook as a hackle.
J.C.:
Jungle Cock.
J.C.E. or JCE:
Jungle Cock Eye. (Feather).
J.E.L.:
J. Edson Leonard. Author of Flies.
Joint:
Represented on some flies by a buildup of
material. See - Center Joint and Fore Joint.
Also, points at which legs of nymphs bend.
Jungle:
Short for Jungle Cock. May refer to Jungle Cock
eyed feathers or Jungle Cock body feathers.
Lately, may refer to plastic printed imitation
Jungle Cock eyed feathers as for many years it
has been illegal to import or even buy or have
in possession Jungle Cock plumage in the United
States. Considered endangered species.
Jungle Cock:
Once popular and much used, feathers of the
Jungle Cock graced salmon and trout flies, but
due to rarity of the birds, imports to the U.S.
and some other countries have been banned and
now these lovely feathers are not to be found. A
recent attempt has been made to breed the bird
in captivity and feathers may again become
available. From the native Indian bird came the
enamal-like spotted feathers used as "eyes" and
the "list" hackles once so popular. Plastic
"eyes" are now available as substitutes. The
Jungle Cock, Gallus sonnerati, is the Gray
Jungle Fowl species.
