The Boats

After years of research and exploring, Adam Henderson has developed a specialized method of river and lake transportation with custom-built jet catboats. The boats have been designed for the angler's comfort, superior river/lake navigation, and safety. Many outfitters/guides in either hemisphere have purchased and use the catajet in their fly-fishing programs. Some will testify that these boats are as or more comfortable than modern drift boats!

Designed for Smooth Trips

Complete with swivel seats, hip braces, these boats are stealthy and go where no other boat can. Propelled with an outboard jet engine, these boats can float quietly down stream and return up stream when desired. With these boats, Flywise Anglers will provide transportation, fun, and fly-fishing up and down the river or across any lake. Designed to make managing your fly line comfortable, we are sure that you will enjoy fly-fishing from these highly versatile crafts.

  • The frames are designed and fabricated by Adam Henderson specifically for the Chilean Patagonia.
  • The frames are designed to maximize fly line management and control.
  • Hip braces allow the angler to stand up and fly-fish no matter how rough the water conditions.
  • Checker plate aluminum floors prevent slippage while fly fishing from the boat.
  • The boats have plenty of room for tackle and equipment for those gear junkies that love to bring all their fly-fishing toys and camera equipment.
