That has a mo marsh layout written all over it (layout on stilts). They are expensive too, but would look more natural. I have several soil conservation lakes and we use them when they back up like that.

Derogatory comments are a norm here- get used to it- don't think FM meant anything by his comment though- he was being serious

I actually ordered a guilly suit- use jacket and face mask all the time- it's incredible


You are correct, I was just curious.

How's that ghilly working out? I always say I am going to get/make one.



They are incredible. Use one w dove stool - top and hoodie when I hunt sparse cover and don't feel like using a lay down blind. I have had ducks buzz me before landing within swatting distance. I use the hoodie late season in my blinds as well- hunting a small pond in am w little cover on south. - it's coming out for the first time this year

I use floating pontoon blind ( only 2 man) and have a sled blind on big soil conservation lake we hunt. Brushed up no issues- regardless of cover. Always hunt east side- cross wind- shadows help a lot

I think about the only application would be get it to where you are hunting by some other means, and then float it as just a blind.


My thoughts.

Float tubing the Platte with a fly rod is a heck of a different ballgame than float tubing for puddlers in a muskrat love hut. Inflatables have an operating envelope optimized for carrying light loads in moving water that, at least in my perspective, would be a hindrance in a duck hunt, certainly not an asset.

Having float fished pontoon inflatables, it's a great way to spend a relaxing day on the river casting flys in nooks and crannies you wouldn't be able to fish otherwise. And cover a lot of water in the process.

Kayak, all the way.
