Tied by: Don Bastian
Originated by: Carrie Stevens
Source: Carrie G. Stevens: Maker of Rangeley Favorite Trout and Salmon Flies - Hilyard 138-139

Hook: Gaelic Supreme Mike Martinek Rangeley Steamer 6xl
Thread: Black 8/0
Tag: Silver flat tinsel
Tail: Black hackle fibers
Body: Silver flat tinsel
Throat: Pink hackle fibers
Wing: 2 pink hackles flanked by grizzly hackle dyed yellow

Notes: The Jungle Queen is one of Carrie Stevens' patterns, but not much is known about the origins of the pattern. In Hilyards 'Carrie G. Stevens: Maker of Rangeley Favorite Trout and Salmon Flies' the dressing is the same as Mrs. Stevens' Yellow Witch. Other references to the Yellow Witch list the it with a white bucktail belly.

Long story longer
