If you haven't had the opportunity to converse with TubeDude yet, you certainly should. He started out tubing in the ocean, before it was even a recognized modality for fishing. I'm sure he, as well as numerous others here can give you a lot of input as far as safety, types of craft best used in salt water, etc. I only have experience in freshwater, and the most danger I have been in was while tubing in southern Arizona under a near midsummer sun. I actually got sunburned to the point of blistering on my rod-holding wrist, that being my right one (I'm one of those lefties).
So since you have expressed an interest, you should go ahead and plan on coming over. I think if one were to travel in a several hundred mile radius, in Utah/Idaho, they could catch a lot of different bodies of water. These would be from high mountain lakes, to slow, big rivers, to high desert lakes. Species would include all trout, bass, crappie, bluegill, catfish, perch, carp, whitefish, and possibly some walleye or muskie (not too sure on the latter).
