Float Tube Blues.

Float Tubes. What a great friggin idea! Whoever came up with those excellent devices was a genius and we seriously owe some respect to that said individual! You get a good ol' fashion workout and can sneak into some out-of-the-way places with the fly rod that most people cannot.


The float tube can be used virtually anywhere. As the gentlemen that made the fly fishing film " Tampum " have clearly proven, the float tube is an under-rated weapon in the arsenal available to fly guys and conventional junkies alike. Check out Panfish Pat's bucketmouth below. This fish was caught on a lake where gas powered motors are prohibited and thus, the fish do not recieve much pressure from anglers other than around public access areas. The rewards for a 15 minute leg workout are well worth it.

If you haven't gotten an opportunity to fish from one of these, we here at BTC recommend it. It'll be some of the most fun you've had fishing in quite some time. We're willing to bank on it!
