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

Hey Gabow We must have posted about the same time. Both work so now we don't have any problems. That is a neat looking fly might have to tie a few on a small jig head for the bream season ahead. By the way it feels out side its just around the corner,

I have tied a similar fly in olive and black and it is a killer when fishing the beds. I like to weight it in the back similar to the Bully Bluegill.
Here you go!

That's a simple bug to tie. I have everything except the bead, and those aren't hard. Thanks for straightening out the link so I could see it.
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.
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.
