Tate bug
This is a deer hair frog used for smallmouth bass but will work for large browns and largemouth bass. It was one of the first fly tying manuals I purchased back in 1970. It explained in detail how to ty deer hair to a hook and how to trim it.
In 1976, I was discussing my variation of the muddler minnow and a stone fly copy for the Salmon River hatch with a coworker in Utah whose name was Bill Tate. It was his fly in the manual. I was pleased to present him with my copy of the manual.
