A rod and reel might be helpful if you plan on catching fish. :LOL: J/K.

Although, you didn't mention anything about a Coast Guard approved life vest, which is required. You don't have to wear it, but it must be readily available. A whistle or some other kind of noise maker is also a must if you plan on fishing lakes which gets heavy boat traffic. Other than those, you might want to think about a pair of neoprene boots to protect the soles of your waders.

They're meant to go under the fins.

If you are new to float tubing, you may want to take a few trips to some freshwater lakes first to build up your leg muscles and get a feel for it. The currents can get pretty swift in NPH, especially toward the wedge, and if your legs cramp, you're basically at nature's mercy. As for stuff to bring, don't forget a net. Landing fish from a float tube can be an ordeal without one. Also duct tape and a mouth fill hose, in case your tube springs a leak.

A tip: Try not to drink too much water. There aren't too many restrooms accessible from the middle of NPH, lol.
