According to Bate's "Fishing Atlantic Salmon" on page 367 they say:

.. . .an enterpising individual by the name of Charles Cuck Conrad . .
embellished the Black Bear fly with a tinsel tag and green fluorescent
butt creating waht is known as the CONRAD, or Black Bear Green Butt.

The picture shown in Plate 133 shows a BBGB with hackle fibres for the
tail and and a black wound hacke.

Hope this helps

Today, on ESPN Classic, they broadcast a 1974 documentary titled, "Ted
Williams And The Atlantic Salmon". The documentary showed him tying a
fly called "The Conrad". What is that fly made from, and what type of
fly is Mr. Williams trying to simulate?
