With the 2009 fly fishing season just around the corner, Bow River Hookers is preparing to upgrade their drift boats again this year. While there are a number of different drift boat manufacturers, the Hyde Drift boat is the boat of choice for Bow River Hookers.

"It's not like we're changing boats", comments Bow River Hookers owner Tom Windsor. "We're simply upgrading to the newest model. We couldn't be more satisfied with a boat than we are with a the Hyde boats we already have but extended usage takes it toll so before these boats start showing signs of wear, it's time to put some new ones on the water."

These two boats are the 2007 model of the XL Hybrid Series 16' 10.5" Hyde Drift boat. They feature a number of unique options that were custom ordered back in 2007. The storage compartment full-width bench seat offers the pilot lots of room and lots of storage space for equipment. The walk-around, under the seat storage boxes in both the front and back of the boats allows you to tuck bulky equipment away in a safe secure enclosure. The bow storage compartment adds additional safe and secure storage space. The trailer is a single axle Hyde Boat trailer specifically designed for the Hyde Boats. The safety oar, suspended under the pilot seat, offers security in the event that an oar is broken or lost while on the water. The Counter Balanced Cataract Oars have additional weight near the handle balancing the oars in the oar locks and are made with a lightweight graphite composite shaft wrapped and stopped providing an unmatched strength to weight ratio. The boats also come with a double-leg yoke in the front of the boats and a single-leg yoke in the back of the boats.

Either or both boats can be purchased through Bow River Hookers directly or by contacting LaMoyne Hyde at Hyde Outdoors, 1-800-444-4933. Tell LeMoyne that you're interested in the Bow River Hookers boats.

Not only are Hyde boats the cadillac of McKenzie style drift boats but they offer a guarantee second to none and eagerly honour it. In this day and age when service seems to be a vanishing comodity, Hyde Outdoors stands behind their products with courtesy and integrity. We are pleased to be a part of the fishing fraternity using Hyde Drift Boats.

If you're currently using any other brand of drift boat, you really owe it to yourself to check out a Hyde. Watch for us on the Bow River and come take a gander at these boats. We're easy to spot ... we're piloting the only two maroon 16' 10.5" XL Hybrid Series Hyde drift boats on the Bow River.
