[quote flygoddess]First off, you need a vest of some sort. The cushions are only in addition to vests on a boat. The cushion isn't going to be enough.
"Boats less than 16 feet long, as well as canoes and kayaks of any length, must have a vest style at a minimum which is Type I, Type II, or Type III PFD for each person on board. A Type IV cushion or ring buoy will not meet this requirement.
Boats 16 feet and longer (except canoes and kayaks of any length) must meet the above requirements, plus they must have a Type IV PFD on board."
Fly-fishing float tubes do not require PFDs on lakes with less than 200 surface acres. Fly-fishing pontoons do require PFDs on all Idaho waters.
It does not read that you must be wearing one. Just like Canoes and Kayaks.
Exceptions are PWC's and children 14 and under on certain sized boats.
That law is pretty much the same as Utahs[/quote]
