Fly Fishing Accessory

I’m wanting to get a float tube as a Christmas present for my dad…?

He had to sell his boat for financial reasons. He fly fishes for bass and trout mostly, but uses bait casting gear for bass also.

rather than answer each question individually, l’ll just sum it up for you.
l fish from tubes. a lot.
for me, the very best waders to use are none at all. just shorts. but at times they become necessary.
many socal lakes do not allow body contact so waders become a necessity.
l have used neoprene, canvas, cheap vinyl and have finally settled on a good set of breathable ones from hodgman.
vinyl gets hot in the summer. tears easily, best to avoid completely.
canvas is heavy. and can get uncomfortable.
started with neoprene. nice and comfy in winter. they get hot, hot, hot in the summer. and they are NOT made for sitting in a float tube. the seam in the crotch of mine was the first to go. you slip around in the seat of your tube. the butt area wears next. the material flexes fine when walking. in a tube the seams do not. you can roll the top down while wading in a stream. you can’t do this in a tube.

my point:
breathable no stretch fabric waders are definitely the way to go. they retain enough body heat in the winter to keep you comfortable. in the summer, you don’t wind up sitting in a puddle of sweat. all the others are very bad about this. they are light, fold up into a small package and store easily. you can put them on or take them off easily. not so with neoprene.

but, whichever type you decide on, get stocking foot waders, wear beach wading slippers, divers booties or a cheap pair of light tennis shoes so you don’t damage the foot with your flipper strap. the flippers will stay on better with some sort of shoe, anyway.
hodgman is a decent brand. most of the others should be fine. prepare to spend $150.00 and more.
there should be enough gear storage space in the pockets of your tube.
vinyl would puncture the easiest. canvas being the toughest. there shouldn’t be too much worry of punctures while in the tube. they all come with repair kits.
