Dressing for the Float Tube

May 24, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

Robert Crooks talks about the ins and outs of dressing for float tubing on his StillwaterTrout.com site. Good info here, including the tip on always wearing a Gore-Tex shell and opting for the lower-profile float tube over the pontoon when lake fishing in any kind of wind. “Some larger PC’s have a platform that keep the anglers entire body out of the water, except for his legs from mid-calf down. In cold weather, this is an advantage to keeping warm except that such high profile craft are a frustration to control in any sort of moderate wind so common in spring and fall.”
