[cool][#0000ff]It is always best to know and understand the regulations for any body of water you will be fishing...from shore, boat, tube or toon. Sometimes the regulations are a matter of who owns/manages the lakes...private, county, city, state, etc. Once you find that out you can look up their website online or call to get a copy of the written guidelines. They are usually available in some form. In Utah, our DWR (Department of Wildlife Resources) publishes online and in print an annual "Fishing Guide" that includes the basic regulations for each water...including any restrictions on boating, float tubes, etc.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I would not care to guess as to whether or not the person you talked to was giving you the right information regarding float tubes. My guess is that it was for boats, but I would not risk launching my tube or toon until I had a written clarification. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]There is an old saying that it is easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission. Another states that IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE. If you are in violation, and the officer who confronts you is not tuber friendly, you could suffer the consequences. [/#0000ff]
