What is Float Tube fishing?
Float tubing originated in the USA as a convenient way of fishing whilst afloat without going to the expense of a full scale boat. The angler sits in a small inflatable vessel, a bit like a chair, whilst wearing chest waders and diver’s fins, propelling themselves along while allowing both hands to be constantly available to handle the fishing tackle. This results in extremely stealth and a superior way of fishing as the quarry seems to regard the float tuber with indifference, in their same way they would a large swan or duck!
