Thanks for all the feedback! I've caught fish from a float tube in stillwater. I guess most of my concern is trying to land a fish if any sort of obstacle is ahead on the river I suppose if it comes down to it losing a fish isn't the worst thing compared to flipping a pontoon.

It sounds like a large portion of the solution is knowing the water ahead of time, which is difficult since so much of the land is private and its hard to get to know a river with a single pass.

I guess we'll have to stop and fish the public land we can, and float fish while keeping an eye downstream.


and to Jimp, no worries about the 'tj'. Its good to know the Wyoming stream access laws in case you ever find yourself wetting a line there.
