Hey folks - quick question for the float tubers out there.

When I used my tube in the high mountain lakes of the black hills, you couldn't go out in the tube without freezing my arse off.

But now I'm in Oklahoma and using the tube in warm waters of a pond right near home. The last two times I've gone out in the tube I've only used a swim suit, but it made me wonder...is there any reason that I SHOULD be wearing waders?

Other than the occasional little fish nipping at my leg, is there anything else to worry about in the float tube?

Here's a pic of some of what the back part of the pond looks like - I haven't had the chutzpah to go back there in my tube yet.

Thanks in advance for the feedback
