the replicas looking down with their mouths closed are cool, looks like they are stalking.

So you're gonna hold it against the man because his shop burned ? What's that got to do with his talent as an artist and creating replica's ?

Try Bevs on 515. She is between Emory and the lake.

Artistic anglers did mine, happy with it, it takes a while as they are busy...

That's a good looking mount. Any other pics of it?

Yes I am, since the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion of improperly disposed of oily rags. Since he had inadequate insurance on the building and it's contents everyone that had irreplaceable trophies in his shop lost their trophies. Let me remind you that this was not just fish, there was some very impressive deer and one world class bear trophy in that building. So absolutely I am going to hold this against him! Would you like to defend his action on his 2nd building and the trouble everyone had with getting their money back from him on that one as well?

Maybe you should do a search on Mr. Ron Kelly before you promote his business. Wasn't to hard to find a locked thread on this forum from unhappy customers that were screwed from Mr. Kelley.

Now that is bad to bone!

Get in touch with Bev. You won�t be sorry. Her work is off the charts. I will try to find a link to her web site.

You need serious help you act like he burned it down himself just to collect peoples money...

Ron has done a few for my dad and I, including a 4lb crappie from Palestine and they look great.
A bunch of the fish in the marinas and restaurants around lake Fork have his work in them.
Never had any issues at all

Check out Bevs website.

LFT is the last place I�d ever ask to do my fish. They are priced high, customer service sucks, replicas look nothing like your fish, and it takes forever. They�re on fork so they think they�re s**t don�t stink. They need to humble themselves a little. I�d go with Ron as many have stated.

You said that! Not me! So who is your psychiatrist? What I am going to hold against him is that people had to call the Sheriff's office to get their items?
Good luck with Ron but I bet you can kiss your fish and your deposit GOOD BYE....
I lost two fish that I had left with him that my sons caught on a trip to Fork. They were lost in the fire. My DEPOSIT was lost in his wallet, never to be returned. I got NOTHING.....but phone recorders and excuses from him when I finally found him again at a tackle show a few years ago.

My sons fish were burned by the fire, I was burned by Ron...

Well, I made a 140 mile round trip to Ron Kelly's Shop and found it locked up and a FOR RENT sign on it. I stopped in Emory and rumor has it that he has moved to Greenville but no one knew for sure. If anyone has an address or knows where his new shop?? is located I sure would like to know of it. If you know of anyone that had a fish at his place, they like myself have probably lost it. I have talked to a Justice of the Peace and was told I could file a small claim and get some costs back. I do need to know his current address. It is a shame that a man with the talent that he has,but he lacks the integrity to do what should be done. I wonder if he thinks that word of his doings will not get around to the fishing public.

Ron Kelly chapter 2. After a phone call to his cell# by the Camp Co. Sheriff, Ron Kelly called me within an hour.He is in Rockwall.


If you would like to defend someone that stole from these people then please double up on your meds before you reply with your unsubstantiated opinion!

another look,,,have seen some of Bevs work and it seems to be good also...also not a fan of the Lake fork guys work..



Sent artistic anglers a photo and the measurements (length and girth) mount came out almost exactly and matched the photo...fish was 11 lbs 8 oz...
