Description
The Whit's Hair bug, created by renowned fly angler and author Dave Whitlock, is a topwater fly pattern designed to imitate a frog's natural appearance and movement. Its lifelike profile and action make it particularly effective for targeting species such as bass, pike, and snook in shallow, vegetated waters where frogs are abundant.
Pro Tip
Fish this deer hair bug along the banks and grass beds with a slow line hand stripping action to make it act like a real swimming frog.
