Del Canty. For those that haven't heard of him, he's the greatest Brown Trout fisherman of all time. He home based on Flaming Gorge. He pioneered (and invented) what is known as modern float tubing with Lunker Hunter in the late 70's. My primary float tube today was given to me by him when I was 8 back in 83' (just like the blaze orange or yellow ones in the pics). He taught us to tie 200 ft' ropes to our float tubes and then to the bumpers of trucks or tree stumps on the shore before you go out on a moonless night. Big leech and mice patterns.

I'm telling you - being out in the middle of a HUGE reservoir in the pitch black in a full "sit in" style float tube is something else. Especially when the wind kicks up. eek2
