Jitterbee

The Jitterbee is a good bluegill fly. Here is a similar pattern that has worked well for me. It is called the GW Bug.

That is a nice looking fly. It has been my experience that anything with legs it better than without for bluegill. Okie what is the body made of in that Fly.

Tracker,
The chartreuse material is Danville "Depth Ray" yarn. The black is black metallic punch yarn.

Another good bluegill bug is the "Cap Spider" You could always add a couple legs to back.

My brother introduced me to the jitterbee. He has a fish pond in his back yard. This fly is a killer on bream. My question is, I am looking for the hook it is made with. The hook is a Eagle Claw Baitholder#080 in size 8 or 10. Has anybody any clue as to where I can find some. This fly can be seen on the internet. www.laflyfish.com/flies/jitterbee. Please help me find this hook. Thanks

I've ordered the 080 Eagle Claw hook from both Bass Pro and Cabelas.

Thank you all for doing this for me. I saw this bait in action. Believe me it works. If some one has a little time would they send me a pm on how to place a link on line like you all just did. Thanks. The color I was using was black and chartreuse ultra.

You have a PM. Also if you want to add a little weight you could use a Tungsten Bead.
