Our Story
Hello, I’m Kevin – Engineer, Angler, and Outdoor Enthusiast
Like many of you, my journey with fly fishing began with a spark of inspiration. Years ago, after watching “A River Runs Through It,” I was captivated by the art and tranquility of fly fishing. That passion set me on a path—not just to fish, but to create.
With a background in precision hardware and industrial products, I noticed a gap between what fly fishing enthusiasts truly need and what’s available. That’s why I founded rivfly: a brand built by anglers, for anglers.
The Rivfly Difference

Passion is our heart, but precision is our backbone. We leverage decades of industrial engineering experience to bring a new level of quality and thoughtful design to your fly fishing experience.
- Precision Engineering:We obsess over tolerances, material strength, and mechanical function. Our vises grip with unshakable confidence, and our tools feel like a natural extension of your hand.
- Thoughtful Design: We don't just build gear; we solve problems. Every curve, every component, every finish is designed to make your time tying flies and on the water more seamless and enjoyable.

It's Your Confidence on the Water
From our fly tying kits that welcome beginners, to our robust vises and tools for the serious tier, and our perfectly balanced fly fishing nets for that triumphant moment—each Rivfly product is a reliable partner in your pursuit. We are building more than a brand; we're building a community of anglers who value quality, performance, and the profound joy of fly fishing.

What makes Rivfly gear different from other brands on the market?
The Rivfly difference lies in our unique origin: we are born from the mind of a precision engineer and the heart of a dedicated fly angler. This means every product isn't just designed to look good; it's engineered to perform flawlessly. We obsess over material quality, mechanical tolerance, and ergonomic details that other brands might overlook. You get the thoughtful design of a passionate angler, backed by the robust reliability of professional engineering.
What is your warranty policy?
We build our gear to last, and we stand behind it. All Rivfly products are covered by a Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing and material defects. This isn't just a policy; it's our promise to you. Our confidence comes from an engineer's approach to design and testing. If our gear fails you due to a flaw in its construction, we will repair or replace it. Simple as that.
Is your Fly Tying Kit suitable for a complete beginner?
Absolutely. In fact, we believe it's one of the best ways to start. We designed our kit to combat the frustration many beginners face with low-quality tools. A precise, stable vise and well-made tools make the learning process smoother and far more enjoyable. We provide you with quality gear from day one, so you can focus on learning the art of tying, not fighting with your equipment.
