Name this bucktail - PLEASE

[Eperous]

Does anyone recognize this bucktail and its name? It was given to me many years ago by a DEC Adirondack Forest Ranger, Vic Sasse, who also ran, and still does a fly shop – North Country Sports. One of his fly tiers gave it to him saying it was effective bucktail for brown trout, of Catskill origin, and maybe even a pattern of the Darbees. I've carried copies that I tied myself for years but only last season had some reasonable success using it on the Esopus Creek.



As best as I can tell, the bucktail was tied as follows:

Tail: Red hackle
Body: Camel or tan wool
Rib: Furnace hackle palmered
Wing: Black bear
Thread: Black
Hook: a #4 Mustad

Another fly fisher I know told me that one of the members of the DeBruce Fly Fishing Club use to fish this pattern, or one very similar to it, but couldn't offer a name. I'm really curious about the history and name of this bucktail, any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

EP, you sly fox you...

Bucky is "the guy" who told me he witnessed another fly fisher at DeBruce using the same/or similar pattern with lots of brown trout to his credit...

... but he could not offer any name to the bucktail...

Thanks anyway...
