Rigorous testing was involved in this process and every detail was looked at to make sure nothing was left out. They went through that for about 8 to 10 months until they had the final model down. Once it was known after heavy market research that there was not a superior product in this realm, they decided to proceed with their engineering team to begin developing what is now known as the River Quiver. This then led to looking into what was out there for this type of product both from a quality but availability standpoint. They are passionate fly fishermen and had an issue with getting a fly rod holder that was back-ordered. John: There was a big gap that one of our owners, John McGowan and Steve Holmes, saw in the marketplace for fly rod roof racks. FL: What inspired the founders to start Riversmith? My goal is to continue to build and be there for my team in any way I can to help us all flourish in our respective roles. That’s the biggest change I would say, but day to day wise, I’m still doing most of the same stuff.
It’s just more responsibility, I don’t have anyone looking over my shoulder every day. Things have definitely changed though since I took over the CEO role officially. Many hats have been worn throughout my time here, to say the least! I’ve bounced around to various roles from sales to customer service to business development, but I am now handling more office admin duties as my role has evolved. I’ve been with the company since it started back in 2018 and have been the longest full-time employee here. We gravitate towards ensuring what we’re doing here as a company is making a positive difference in the way people fly fish and enjoy the sport.įL: Tell us a little about yourself and your journey at Riversmith! As far as anything else on who we are, we’re passionate about what we do here in the office, but we’re just as passionate about having fun out on the river. We stand behind everything we make because we are using it ourselves, day in and day out. This was an obvious problem that needed to be solved thus spawned the idea of the River Quiver Euro Extension Kit.John: Riversmith, is a team of people here who are passionate about fly fishing and want to better the fishing experience for everyone out there by making high-quality products to better enjoy the sport. Those fellow anglers who later decided to explore Euro Nymphing were forced to either break down their longer rods or purchase a whole new River Quiver.
The launch of the extended model was a great success, but there was no modularity for those who already owned a Standard River Quiver. We listened to what the market was doing and released our River Quiver Euro model back in 2019. It is no secret Euro Nymphing has gained popularity within North America over recent years. Installation time is under ten minutes and gives you modularity that will suit your needs during any given fishing trip.
