There is a similar post on the Fly Tying Forum, I'm copying my reply from that one:

Your best source for techniques are the Chris Helms DVD's (that is how I learned). He also sells lots of materials for deer hair bugs. I find the deer hair I get from him is of the best quality. The shop is Whitetail Flyting Supplies. I found out from the other post that it is no longer owned by Chris Helms. I have not bought deer hair in about 4 years so I'm not sure if the quality is still high.

Another good source is the book Bass Bug Basics by John Likakis.

As for patterns, I like to use sliders and pencil poppers, one of my favorite patterns is this one:

Pretty straightforward tie. The hair is antelope (pronghorn). I love it for bass bugs except for the fact that the tips of the hair are almost always all broken, making it so you can't use it for collars but works well for everything else.

This year I'm trying some Bombers:
