Used the Riffle Robber on Silver Creek and it worked beautifully. The tubular shuck gave a realistic drift and the fish took it right away. Great for technical sections where other flies don’t perform well.

Fished it on Henry’s Fork and noticed a significant difference in how the fish reacted. The CDC wing held up well in the current and the pale olive color matched the natural water tones perfectly.

Tricky fish on Missouri river were finally hooked with this fly. The design seems to fool even the most cautious sippers. Highly recommend for technical waters.
