2026 Hewes Redfisher 18
A Shallow Enough To Pole. Big Enough To Roam.The Redfisher 18 is very likely the most popular flats boat of all time. This versatile, mid-sized skiff has been the choice of top backcountry anglers and guides for decades for its speed, range and famous ride. The redesigned Redfisher 18 has all that and more with a new dedicated anchor locker, a console for flush-mounted electronics up to 12” and a comfortable and functional cushion setup.
A true backcountry 18, this iconic boat is now built using vacuum infusion (VARIS), for an even lighter, faster and stronger hull that is well balanced with either 115 or 150 horsepower. In addition, an optional backrest/step integrated into the poling tower makes those long early-light runs deep into the backcountry a safe and comfortable experience. The most popular and versatile backcountry boat is better than ever.
