Float Tube Fly Fishing

Fishing with Seth - Episode 5 - Float Tube Fly Fishing
In this episode, we are demonstrating how to fly fish using a float tube. Float tubes are budget-friendly options to get out on the water and are surprisingly stable, easy to maneuver, and lots of fun! They are very durable and definitely a smart investment... Seth has had his float tube for over 20 years and it's still in great condition even after countless fishing trips!
We have a number of different styles and price-points in-stock. Call or stop by the store and we can certainly help find the best option for you!

Just got my float tube, and I'm looking forward to getting on the water. I learned about float tube fishing by chance when another guy mentioned it as a joke (I'm a new fisher) and I realized it was the perfect solution for me as an apartment dweller with no storage space and who doesn't want to throw money at a roof rack system nor storage rental at the moment but who still wants to fish on the lake and not just on the dock / shore.

That's incredible! Welcome to the float tube fam!

Hi Seth, Great video with good information. I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on the Outcast Fish Cat Cruzer. I love everything I read about it & the integrated oars make sense for certain occasions. I'm thinking about the float tube mainly for hiking/backpacking into lakes and already have a pontoon boat. The thing I don't like is the foam seats, for those very reasons, inflatable would be easier. My other choice would be the Fish Cat 4 Delux w/inflatable seats. Any imput, advise or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. like is the foam seats

[@anglingscorpiofishing9468]

Hiya, Robin: thank you for the interest and of course for watching our videos! I think so highly of Outcast boats in general that a.) we only carry Outcast and/or Fish Cat models in the store, and b.) if there's a model I haven't had the chance to fish from yet I still can know that it's going to be designed and engineered well to maneuver easily while providing rock-solid stability, and is going to shine as serious fishing gear with advantages over most other craft in certain situations. I've always thought that Outcast/Fish Cat boats kicked so swiftly with fins that nothing more to propel you was really needed, but if you're in waders and boots with over-the-boot fins those oars might really help you combat the leg drag and cover water to safety or to the bite. Also, as this is about exercise as well as effective fishing, there's something to appreciate about pulling with your upper body too. We'll have all of the above models to check out in the shop soon, and I would agree that if you're mostly about backpacking your boat, then the delux versions with inflatable seat and backrest will pack down best, and save a you few ounces in your efforts. Thanks again, -Seth

@@anglingscorpiofishing9468 Thanks very much for your opinion. I really appreciate it.

[@paulobainz1210]

A life jacket is never a bad idea either.

[@headClock]

Nice

[@SuperSamiam25]

LOL connected to a canoe???? great demonstration???

[@cadenmazzu7545]

How far can you travel on one of these? 1 mile? 2?

[@jacobstarr9010]

So is it logical to fly fish using a kayak? I never really see people do it so I wondered.

[@MaineSportOutfitters]

Hi, John! Though not necessarily the most popular way to fish, it is a great combination. It's also a wonderful way to troll down the lake and cover lots of water with your flies. We believe this low-impact method of fishing should be used by more anglers. Thanks for watching!

[@anglingscorpiofishing9468]

absolutely logical in the right conditions with the right craft-- check out gig harbor fly shop vids and our kayak review last summer-- especially standing using a stripping basket!

Am I the only one that noticed not one fish pic ?
