Duane
Hada's Rivertown Gallery Rivertown Gallery is the
realization of a lifelong dream of Duane and his wife, Marlene, to
showcase the art of fly fishing and the Ozark landscape. Rivertown Gallery
will offer extraordinary attractions at a single location. Along with
Duane’s original art, the gallery will feature Signature
Series flies by internationally known fly tyer Davy Wotton and beautiful
trout carvings by Gary Turner.
Located in historic downtown Cotter, Rivertown Gallery is also the location for Riverbend Custom Framing, which features quality framing and fly plates. Mark and Nancy Schuyler, owners of Riverbend Custom Framing, will offer quality framing of prints, photos, needlepoint and flyplates. With over twenty years experience, they bring a unique perspective to the art of framing.
Duane is a native of Newton County, Arkansas, and grew up in the Buffalo River Valley. At an early age he developed a passion for the natural beauty of the Ozarks, its wildlife and the sport of fly fishing. He began fly tying and fly fishing at age 9, and over the years he has become one of the most respected fly fishers in the country. In addition to Duane’s art, Rivertown Gallery features his own line of fly rods built to his specifications. He also offers fly fishing guide service and instruction as well as riverside lodging.
Duane's clients
recognize that his first-hand experiences growing up in the beautiful
Ozark Mountains form the basis for the accuracy of his work. His art is
featured in fly fishing lodges, private collections, wildlife calendars
and on an Arkansas Trout Stamp.
