Thread: article about fishing out of tubes in Sunday's paper

The first time I ever heard of tube fishing was an article in Outdoor Life (?) about Bob Brown and one of his buddies. Very interesting!

Used mine all thru the 70s when living in Colorado.

It's waterproof!

I remember fishing from my Grandpa's canvas tube in the late 50's in farm ponds. The tube inside was red, not black and lasted until the cover rotted away.
I have one of the nylon cover tubes. Haven't used it in years. Used to put it on Ponca Lake and fish the docks early mornings. Keep saying I need to get it out and use it again, but never seem to.
