[cool] I've always said that you ain't an official float tube nut until you've broken your way out through the ice to fish. And here you've gone and done it on your first official trip. Man, things can only get better from here.
Never did find out what size and weight rod you are using...for flies. That won't really matter, when it comes to the size and type flies you use, but I have a few extra lines laying around in the six weight area. Have a couple of full sinking and a sink tip or two. What do you use most.
Have you checked out any websites on tying yet? I know there are a ton of them. You also have a couple of flyfishing websites in Utah, that have some good tubers in the crowd. You should beg and grovel your way into a couple of trips and watch the pros. That's always a good way to to learn.
I'm a TubeDude of my word. I will get you some flies and the instructions of how to tie them. I might also have some extra necks and chenille taking up space in my dusty bins of feathers and such. Might even get them to you before Santa can make it there again. Maybe even before you don't have to break your way out through the ice.
Hey, be careful you don't get frozen into a big "tubecicle". Maybe you should take an ice auger out with you, just to be safe.
