The Bearback Rider works exceptionally well in the morning when the water is still. The red and gold color combination catches the light beautifully, and the foam wing keeps it steady on the surface. I’ve seen multiple fish take it in a creek near my home.

It’s a bit more visible than other patterns, which helps when fishing in low light. The foam wing adds a nice touch and keeps the bug from flipping. I’ve used it in several streams and it’s consistently effective.

This is the first pattern that actually drew fish in a section of stream I’d been struggling with. The presentation is smooth and natural, and the colors stand out without looking flashy.
