What is Belly Boat Fishing?

Belly boat fishing, also known as float tube fishing, offers a unique blend of adventure and charm, combining the thrill of the wilderness with the challenge of reeling in “the big one” while paddling with your feet. Originating over 20 years ago, this fishing method became popular as an ideal way to fish remote mountain ponds and lakes in the western US and Canada. Initially, a simple truck tire inner tube with nylon seating was used.
