Some flies drift quietly across the surface. The Fulling Mill Burkus Bearback Rider arrives with presence. Designed to imitate large stoneflies and terrestrials, this bold dry fly rides high while delivering the kind of surface profile that draws confident trout to the top.
Built for visibility and stability, the Bearback Rider floats naturally through riffles and seams while maintaining a lifelike silhouette. Its buoyant design keeps the fly upright and easy to track, making it an excellent choice when trout are looking for a substantial surface meal.
