When I'm fishing from the canoe in deeper waters, I wear a Stearns inflatable fishing vest. It can be inflated kinda quick by pulling a cord attached to a CO(2) cartridge, or even by mouth using an inflation tube; the thing has a Coast Guard Type III rating.

Having somehow, "mysteriously", overturned in times past, and as I've advanced in age and sping waters seem somehow colder than they use to be, thought it best to be as the Boy Scouts use to say ... prepared.

Thought it might be a good idea to see others are using.
