Fly Fishing from a Float Tube
The float tube has been becoming increasingly popular by the day with the fly fisherman. This is not happening without any reason. The float tube is one of the cheapest things around and is certainly cheaper than buying a boat. This will also allow you to travel on the boat very smoothly.
The biggest advantage is that the float tubes have been made with the fly fisherman in mind. These float tubes have a large tackle storage, is made for having for some great fun on the water and a great casting ease for the boat.
Statistically, while purchasing a new boat will cost you a fortune, a float tube will cost around $100. In addition, you can also strike a great bargain for these float tubes and have one around $50 to $75.
How do you get started with the fishing float tube? For the first timers, an aspiring beginner like model would be the most suitable. An example is the White River float boat. These boats are simple in design, pretty cheap to buy and you can take this in to the water pretty easily.
The float tubes can float easily because they have the O or U shaped PVC bladders which are located inside the boat. You need to blow up the central bladder either by hand or by the pump or a compressor. The pumping up can be dome at home, or at the gas post or at the water's edge.
These types of boats have plenty of space in terms of storage in each of the arm. These enable you to change flies frequently as these have removable wool patches that are attached to the arm via a Velcro. Some tubes also have rod holders. These rod holders can however, be purchased later and these are optional stuff or accessories.
When you are buying these types of boats, you need to ensure that the boat has high visibility safety panel that will be able to send an alert to the riders about your presence on the water. And just to ensure that you are absolutely safe, always wear a PVD.
Float tube fishing thus, makes for a great fishing experience. The light structure of the boat is probably its greatest advantage and probably the most attractive feature too. The overall price that enables you to buy these kinds of boats makes these kinds of boat very reasonably priced too.
Unlike the regular fishing boats which needs a lot of maintenance, these types of boats are pretty much maintenance free in a sense. The greatest advantage with these boats is that these boats can be managed very easily and are not unwieldy.

fishing a fly on a spinning rod or with a float?
i am new to fly fishing. lovin it. last weekend i was talking to a guy at a campground by a river and dam and he said he caught some fish on 'attractors' with his spinning rod and float. How does that work exactly. what are attractors and how do you use them with floats? wont the float spook the fish?
You can fish flies with a spinning outfit, but it's not the preferred method if you ask me, and, as luck would have it, you are asking me.
The way you fish flies with a fly fishing outfit is that you cast your nearly weightless fly with the weight of your fly line and the elastic action of the rod. It's a great system that has evolved over many centuries. With a spinning outfit, you don't have a weighted line, so the weight has to be at the end of the line, where the fly is. Obviously, if you're using a dry fly, you don't want something that will sink the fly, so you use a bobber for the weight. You cast the bobber and the fly goes along for the ride. Yes, the bobber can spook fish -- at least much more than a fly landing by itself. The bobber can also swamp the fly and cause drag on your fly. The fact that you CAN use a fly on a spinning outfit is proof of how versatile that gear is, but it's still non-optimal -- basically a workaround.
An attractor is just a fly that is not designed to look like a particular creature. They're usually tied with some dramatic shape or color to "attract" the eye of a feeding fish. Humpys, Wullfs, Wooly Buggers, and Stimulators are attractors. So, the guy you were talking to was probably using a big fat attractor because it maintained buoyancy even after the splashdown of the bobber and it imitated nothing more specific than "a bug." Incidentally, the other broad category of fly is "imitator" which is meant to accurately imitate a certain insect or other forage.
