Named after the creator, Reverend Rob “Bucky” McCormick out of West Yellowstone, this fly was designed specifically for swinging in front of the large Brown trout coming out the lakes in the fall for illicit purposes.  An elegant spey style fly that has proven itself many times over, try with a Scarlet or Yellow silk body.  You can also bulk this fly up by omitting the Philoplume and tying the hackle into the soft, webby fibers at the base of the feather. Simply Gorgeous!
