Urban Fly Co. Single Buford Fly

The Urban Fly Co. Single Buford Fly is a sparse, heavily accented 8 inch pattern built around Mark’s signature river head style for big predators that live in current. That open profile keeps water moving through the materials, so it loads the rod smoothly and tracks clean when you’re covering long runs.

Fish the Urban Fly Co. Single Buford Fly on 9–10wts or heavier, and lean on an intermediate line when you need control in moving water. In slower stretches, it doubles well: keep it riding high with an intermediate for a broad, searching pass, or switch to a full sink to work it down where fish pin bait and wait. Think steady strips with short pauses, then speed changes to let the head breathe and re-engage.

When & Where It Shines

• Keeps your presentation stable in current, thanks to the sparser head and body that cut drag and maintain tracking.
• Gives you depth control without losing action, thanks to a build that fishes efficiently on intermediate lines and adapts to full-sink approaches.
• Improves hook-up confidence on violent eats, thanks to the Ahrex PR320 heavy wire hook.
• Offers a big-water profile for a committed musky fly, thanks to sparse tying that pulses and flares on cadence changes.
• Stays effective across speeds, thanks to a river-style head that re-engages quickly after pauses and directional changes.
