Notes: There are several diverse versions of flies referred to as the Cock Robin ranging from sparsely dressed dabblers all the way to the other end of the spectrum with fully dressed classic Atlantic salmon irons. Somewhere in the middle lies the streamer version of the fly. It was developed by Mr. Joseph Kvitsky of Westfield, Massachusetts. The Cock Robin is considered a great producing fly for the Northeast's landlocked salmon.
