im currently looking at fly fishing using a float tube. to be honest im not to sure where to start????
i have contacted my local waters which includes a small reservoir 40 acres or so, and they will allow me to float tube at no extra cost.
which float tubes as best e.g, snowbee or guideline.
what other equipemnt is required, flippers etc.

all advice welcome.

thanks in advance.

I've been using a Guideline Pontoon now for a few years and love it. Float-tubing is just the best fishing experience - you'll be smiling from ear to ear when you first get 'afloat'.

Klink,

Have a look here

Although there are a couple of Pros on this forum.

I think the Shakey Expedition is the preferred "budget" option.

Steve Partons site has a wealth of info.

A must is a life jacket

Hi,

I've both the full round float tube and the "V" shaped float tube. I would prefer the "V" shaped tube. Its easier to get in and out of the water and its quicker to travel around in. I bought mine in the States but as stated earlier in the thread Steve Parton has these type of tubes and I heard they are pretty good. When getting neoprene waders make sure that the boot (welly type)is fully lined with neoprene. The cheeper waders end the neoprene at the boot/welly which leeds to problems i.e. cold feet, leaks etc. Flippers are flippers IMO.

Tubing is a class way to go fishing in. You'll be amazed at how close you can get to fish even wild fish.

Enjoy & best of luck.

Give Steve Parton a ring and buy one direct. He does several models including the expedition which he designed. Cheaper than the shops folks!
