Sighs... it is the law here, but here's the catch, you don't have to wear them, just attach your PFD to your float tube handle and you're set! You just buy one from walmart for like 10 bucks, the orange foam standards are like 4-5 bucks. Small price to pay vs. hassle from the watercops...
I've been on Utah Lake with waves, and it sure was fun riding the waves, oh yeah that day I forgot to affix it, and nobody gave me grief... but the danger lies in the fact the waves might be high enough that a boat could not see you in the trough of the wave... oops!
I've gotten more grief for not registering my electric float power at strawberry than I have without my PFD. Just so you know... that float power is one more addition to the float tube that can keep you up if your tube loses air... Just a thought.
I agree with Tube Dude, it is better to have it on than be sorry, especially at Deer Creek with those water nutcases...
