Ok, this may seem like a wierd one...
I recently had a Birthday. My father bought me a float tube...mainly because he thinks they are really cool. I'm in complete agreement with him on that one...they are cool, but i'm not that sure of where around here I would have much use for one. Most of the streams I fish do not even have enough water to cover the tube, let alone use it. Now I know that I can take this bad boy out on lakes and ponds, and I certainly will. My question is: Are there any rivers near me that necessitate the use of a Float Tube. I had always kind of thought that they were an "out west" type of thing, but then realized that if there was water around here that you needed a float tube for I probably would not have fished it because I did not have a float tube. For the record I live in Frederick, MD (North of DC) and work in Gettysburg, PA. I would be willing to drive a bit to reach a river big enough for the tube with some trout in it. Any advise?
