I am new to this sight and I really find it informative. I did try to do my homework before asking this ,but I still have some questions. First of all I am from SW Pa. Near Pittsburgh. There are alot of lakes rives etc. all around. However I have yet to see anyone who float tubes. I also checked PA. forums on this site and others and no success. Until just recently that is. I recently found a guy who guides believe it or not: FLOAT TUBE TRIPS.He is actually located about 20 miles from me and I never knew he existed. Anyway to the point. I arranged for a trip for me and my 14 year old son this May. He supplies all equipment ,but I have been thinking about buying our own tubes.Well I asked the guide if he prefers round or v shaped and much to my surprise and against conventional wisdom on this site he said round because he likes to lean forward and rest his arms. Well lo and behold I find a Trout Trap Muddler[discontinued ] brand new never used for $ 80 bucks delivered.Any feed back on his view and also on the TROUT TRAP.I als plan to buy a Caddids Nevada Gold for my son and me for about 100 bucks.This gets me two starter tubes cheap. Sound good? By the way the Acme Dam Guide Services is the name of the guide.He offers a halfday 4 hrs on the water guaranteed ,all equipment and lures for about 110 bucks or so with preseason discounts. I dont see how I can go wrong.Again thanks for the great site and the anticipated feed back. RichD
