Im an avid flow fisherman and have been wading since I was old enough to. But as I have gotten a little older, I have realized that there could be other alternatives that could be great.

Tried 2 different kayaks in the past, sit in, and a SOT. but didn't enjoy the fishability of them at all.

I have looked alot at the ODC type and am really trying to avoid paddeling. I am leaning towards the Ushaped or pontoon shaped tube, but really don't know a whole lot about it.

I still will wade flows around here but what the Tube idea is really for is when I go to the New River in Virginia. The stretch i go to, college students use donuts to flow down. My idea is why couldn't I use a fishing float tube to move around as well? I don't really plan on fishing much out of it, just for getting around and storage, get out on a ledge and fish. Get back in float down to the next area, get out fish etc...

I notice some tubes say, for still water only, and some make no mention. Could someone with some experience or ideas for me please PM or post below.

Also plan on using some around here in lakes, ponds and some flows. Thanks in advance.
