[cool][blue][size 1]Good thinking and good craft. The Trout Unlimited tubes are quality stuff. I powered around in one of the Kennebecs for a couple of years before getting into the Super Fat Cat.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]Is there a reason why you feel you need a flyrod? Most tubers are all-tackle and all-species fishermen. The fly-flingers are probably in the minority these days. Once you get used to the feel of the mobility and stability of the "poor man's bass boat" I think you will wonder why you never tried it before.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Shoot me a PM with your email address on it and I will send you some introductory chapters out of my (unpublished) book on tubing. Some of those chapters deal with the different kinds of tackle and techniques that work best from a donut dinghy. I also cover how to get set up with all the necessaries...and unnecessaries...like sonar, rod racks and all that stuff. [/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]If you haven't already done so, torture yourself by wandering back through some of the basics on past threads. Should give you a better idea of what you are getting yourself in for.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Oh yeah, welcome to the neighborhood.[/size][/#0000ff]
