A few old float tube pictures.

I took up float tubing late 1994 and still enjoy it. It blew new air (sic!) into my fishing - and gave me new places to spend my time and money... Until now I've only used it in the ocean, and I can assure you that it's not particularly unsafe as long as you take general safety precautions.

Float tube cod

I used to do a lot of float tubing in the ocean. A friend who worked in local tackle shop convinced me to try one, and ended up almost giving it to me, so suddenly I had a float tube in the garage. Tubing for sea trout didn't make much sense to me, not least because most fish were caught very close to the shore and could easily be reached wading.

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
