This is a fly tying video from Flymen Fishing Company and done by Brian Wise. Check it out. Cool frog!
Not to toot my own horn, but if you don’t want to go to the trouble of tying this type of frog, check out my FrankenFrog if you are looking for a frog pattern that will fish extremely well. Click on the FrankenTrout in the upper right.

From Flymen Fishing Company:
The target species for the Japeto Frog is bass (smallmouth, largemouth, spotted), but pike, musky, and even snakeheads are targetable with this fly as well.
When fishing the Japeto Frog, cast to lily pads, moss, grass, weeds, or any structure close to the bank. Typically, fishing a frog pattern is noticeably faster than other topwater patterns, but observe and let the fish tell you the speed you should be moving with.
