I've visited this forum a few times on the suggestion of Bluegillman. He and I frequent another website called the "Canoe Country Bulletin Board" which is devoted to discussing the fine points of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota (and the Quetico Provincial Park across the border in Ontario).
Anyhow, another point we have in common is fishing from float tubes, so he suggested I register here. So, I just did.
Not sure how faithfully I can contribute, but will try to offer up something useful or "entertaining" when I can. Things are sorta slow at the moment so maybe I can find something from my "archives". [

Guess I'll have to figure out how to post pics and such.
On a personal note... I live in Oregon, hence the screen name of "Orygoner". I see Zonker is in my neck of the woods. I'm a retired Forester...wife and I are definitely outdoor people. Interests too numerous to list...except for fishing of course.
Mostly I flyfish, but am not exactly a purist. In the right time and place I'd still sit on the bank waiting for an old carp to suck up a dough ball. [

Looking to buy a new tube before I go off on a fishing trip to Kodiak Island this fall. I have two (both Caddis, a old donut and a u-boat - can't recall the models at the moment). But, I think I need one that gets my behind out of the water and is still light enough to pack into the backcountry lakes. I see lots of info on the board so I will be doing some homework. If you have suggestions, pls pass along.
Anyhow... I'll be checking in and try to contribute when I can. My thanks to Bluegillman for the tip.
