Designed to Fish. Built to Endure.
River Cast Designs builds custom aluminum raft frames and innovative fishing accessories specifically for fly fishing from a raft. Every product is engineered with purpose—clean layouts, efficient spacing, and durable construction—so you can focus on rowing, casting, and covering water.
From custom frames to rod storage and casting accessories, our gear is built to perform day after day in real river conditions.

Ultimate Cup Holder – River Cast Designs
A rugged 4″ diameter cup holder built to securely hold a Nalgene or favorite beverage on the river. Features a versatile bar clamp that mounts anywhere on a 1.25″ (1.66″ OD) raft frame. Durable, stable, and finished in Sand Pebble for a clean, functional look.
The Guide Rod Bunker
The Guide is a 4-rod raft-mounted holder that keeps multiple fly rods protected, rigged, and ready to fish. Built from 1/8″ aluminum, it doubles as a solid standing platform, while EVA-padded reel protection, internal rod separators, and a secure retention strap keep rods safe. Designed to follow the raft’s contour for a low-profile fit, The Guide lets anglers switch setups quickly and stay focused on the next cast.
Anchor Systems
Designed for fly fishing from a raft, these anchor systems provide smooth, reliable control to slow your drift or hold position in moving water. Built for durability and ease of use, they help anglers set up clean casts, fish productive water longer, and maintain confidence in changing river conditions.
