Hey Stoneyman. We encounter similar situations over here in the US. I know for a fact that in CA, if a particular body of water is going to be used for a water supply, then they don't allow float tubes unless waders are worn.(even though they allow swimming in the same body of water)
I don't have the names of all the lakes on hand but many of them won't allow tubes or toons if there are boats in the same waters. That is mostly for a safety measure.
The rule always changes on the "Pay to Play" lakes. In those particular bodies of water, they allow smaller boats with smaller motors.
I have been to other bodies of water where they have tubing areas that were designed to prohibit boats and PWCs from using those marked areas.
I hope this answers your question in a way that you can understand. I'm sure there are others with more to add to this thread as well.[cool]
