Thanks for the info about stretching. I am pretty new to the site and been lurking for a couple of months. I live/fish in Wisconsin, mainly trout, bass, and occasionally nothern pike and walley.
I found the site when I got a new Super Fat Cat Float Tube from Santa. Santa also got me a trolling motor that I am trying to come up with a way to attach to the float tube. It is amazing that Santa always comes through when you make a list! I have purchased a BW Sports Float Power, but am trying to find a way to incorporate the both on to the tube - worried about the weight/location of the battery. I have some ideas I want to try, but I am still iced over, I have spring fever so bad I am ready to dut a 4' square hole in a lake!
I have been tubing for about six years, and Fly Fishing since I was a kid, but I have a very bad knee. This limits the time wading in the streams, which in turn limits the trout fishing. We do have several lakes/ponds near home - I just can not seem to give it up - and frankly, I refuse. I am only 41 years old - way too young to hang up anything. Wife always seems to remind me - as does my friend "arthur" - as in arthritis. I just grin an bear it - along with a few expletivies. Way too many years of hockey groing up.
Motto is work hard, play harder!
I will be able to give some updates, photos and pics of my tricking out of the tube once I get it wet. Stillwork in progress in the basement. Also plan on showing some of you guys some motivation to make a trip to Wisconsin for some good fishin' and a good whiff of our dairy air. LOL.

PS - the EPCJMC is my wife and I's initials. I need to come up with a cool handle - like Dryrod, Tubebabe, Macfly, Tubedude, TubN2, etc etc (list is not all inclusive).
I am 5'5" weigh 230 lbs. Thinking of Mightymite - what say you?
