I float tubed for (30) years in some of the best lakes of the Rocky Mountain area and your tips were really right on the money as far as fishing from a floating craft in lakes. Especially, your tip about keeping your rod tip in the water! Too me, that is critical for success in fishing in lakes. You feel the fly line working and all the subtleties to keep you in touch with a feeding fish. The best lake fly fisherman I ever met and fished with could not cast a fly line if it killed him. He stripped line off of his reel and paddled rearward once he was in a fishy area. So making long casts with or without the wind became irrelevant too him. Yes, he landed many, many fish...................Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148053610537598768.post-17967545084950106742016-07-05T17:26:14.245-07:002016-07-05T17:26:14.245-07:00Many of these tips work also for float tubes in ca...Many of these tips work also for float tubes in case you don't have a kayak.

The bad thing is the weather here changes so much you can't count on the direction. I've had a head wind coming and going several times.Feather Chuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816824282816730471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148053610537598768.post-36079444205249909132016-07-05T16:15:06.373-07:002016-07-05T16:15:06.373-07:00As someone who spends a lot of time fishing from a...As someone who spends a lot of time fishing from a kayak, I'd say you provided some great tips. I always try to paddle into the wind. 1st-for help going home. But also, you'll get more time on your target. As you approach the wind will slow you down, then you'll pause as the wind slows the kayaks progress. It'll take a few more seconds for the wind to get your kayak moving in reverse. With a rudder you can actually steer going backwards also...something I really appreciate.
