[cool][#0000ff]Sounds like New York and California are about the most tuber unfriendly states in the union. But, as the severity and awareness of the invasive species increases...along with devastating diseases like VHS...we can probably look for more waters in more states to adopt harsher regulations.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have tubed all over the country and have never encountered the kinds of restrictions you describe. There are always isolated waters where there are limitations placed on fishing and swimming, mostly due to the lake or reservoir being a source of drinking water. But (thankfully) most lakes and rivers in most states are pretty much open to use by all watercraft...subject only to local or state safety regulations.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Sounds like if you are going to become a regular and serious tuber you either need to move to another state or get used to the idea that you have to drive a bit for your tubing pleasure.[/#0000ff]
