Whats the diference bettween a "belly boat" and a "float tube"? Ive always wondered this. And do you need flippers to use them? How dose one work exactly?
Thanks
Nickers

Belly boat and float tube are the same thing!

There is also a U boat that is u shaped for easy access getting in and out of. All use the same principle of an inflatable blader for floatation.

Yes, you do need flippers to propel your self for all of the above.

Good Luck

Thanx, so I would imagine you need a waterproof suit or something so your not soaked to the bone while in this thing right? Do you where your river wadders with it? In your experiance, is it worth buying one of these float boats!?
Nickers

Yes, you need waders or you will freeze your twig and berrys off. I use neopreme waders 5mm. There have been times in very hot weather that i just wore shorts but I wouldn't reccomend it. Don't drink to much or you will be heading to shore to pee alot.

I love my Float tube and would reccomend it to anyone who loves to fly fish.

Cheers,
Nickers
