and CUSTOMER COMMENTS
Great new photos added June 2010
Be sure to scroll all the way down

 Since we receive so many generous gifts of flies and photos from some really awesome tyers, we expect that this page will change as often as we have time to take photos and put them here.

If you have sent us a fly that isn't shown, send us an
e-mail reminder to help us remember to shoot photos and upload them.  (If you see the wrong credit given for tying, let us know that too.)

Thank you very much for your gifts of flies and/or photos!

Hello, Tony. 
I have a damsel cutter from you that I have cut over 4,000 bodies with - and am still using...Great product!

I am a Den Leader with Cub Scouts Pack 4104.  Last night was our annual Blue & Gold Banquet in which you had donated a couple of your foam cutting kits.  I can not thank you enough for your donation to our Pack.  I was lucky enough to get the winning bid on one of the kits!  My Scout, Aaron, and I are frequent fly fishermen, and soon to be fly tiers!  Can't wait to to start tying!  And once again, Thanks for supporting Cub Scouts!

Thank you, Brent G.

 

 Tony, Kathi,

Just received the cutters and could not be more pleased.  Stayed up late last night just to get a few flies tied...now to find some time to go fishing!

Richard Pilatzke shared these photos with us.... proof that flies tied using River Road Creations' cutters work!

      Thanks, Richard!


Cutters used: Tomsu's Supreme Hopper™ Cutter Set

Hmmmm....  Do hoppers really work on trout?

These photos attest to Harry Schoel's success on the Big Hole using Tomsu's Supreme Hopper™ Cutter  Set to tye up some very functional flies.

   These photos also demonstrate that Harry is an incredible tyer and fisherman.

 

Thanks for sharing photos with us, Harry.  Good luck fishing and tying!

 I bought two sets of your cutters about 2 years ago and they must have cut hundreds and hundreds of flies for me and my brother!!  Thanks for your great product and look forward to getting a couple more sets this spring to add to  my collection!!

 In response to a request for special service:

Received your pictures and e-mail and they are both wonderful.  It's always a pleasure to do business with a family-owned business--one always receives that personal touch.

Thanks for everything.

I can not thank you enough for your super products and service. Your package arrived today in perfect shape and right on time. This will be both a surprise and delight for my fly-fishing fiend of a wife. I also want to thank you for the generous "lagniappe" as we say down here in Cajun country.

Dennis Vidmar's big catch weighed in @ 14 lbs 5 oz. and was 32 1/2 inches long..
The fish that won the tournament was over 16 lbs and was 31 1/8 inches long



Dennis Vidmar and his 10-year old nephew with his first catch - certainly a great start fishing at 12-13 lbs!


 
Order has been well received, as usual. And the cutters, a bright idea, are always perfectly manufactured. Really a nice business!

Flies tied by Elvis Fields
using Mayfly wing cutters

 

 Tony and Kathi-I really like your products and that is why I ordered more of them. I caught fish on some foam flies I made using your cutters and it was great! My only suggestion is that you include instructions and/or variations on what you (and others ) have created with your tools. Thanks and I will buy more soon!

 the spot of green on the underside is a sure give-away to this tyer's identity...
