[quote kokomoslow]Is there an up to date list of states and regs. for traveling tubers???? My wife and I are planning a trip around this here United States befoe we have to go to the big lake in the sky. And a tube would fit real nice in the trailer.[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]There is no such list that I know of. Heck, it is tough enough to get a clear answer to any questions even in your state of residence. If you talk to ten people you can get 10 different opinions.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The good news / bad news part of float tubing is that it is still not widely understood or accepted as being a serious fishing system. Therefore nobody takes us seriously and nobody cares enough to put time and effort into making sure the regulations are realistic and fair to all concerned. Too often they try to lump tubes and toons in with boats...or toys.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The best I can suggest is to make a list of the states you intend to visit and do as much searching as possible online before you go. That research might also include some calls to prominent tackle suppliers in the area...especially if they sell tubes or toons.[/#0000ff]
