Default Small Belly Boat

Can anyone recommend a small Belly boat? I am looking for a small belly boat to attach to my back pack. I used to have a small Caddis BB but it fell apart last year. I don't want to have to pack an air pump and pump up a BB when I get to my destination. Thanks.

Look at the Fish Cat series of float tubes. Much better than a belly boat, light and relatively cheap. They come with pack strap attachments.

I second the fishcat. I have done some good hikes with it on my back.

I have a classic accessories togiak which I like, but a fishcat would be nicer as your butt and groin area sit out of the water with a fishcat. The togiak is a lot cheaper though and is a great value for the money

Fish cat. Money well spent. Like stated previous. You actually sit out of the water. Great for those early spring days when the water is still ice cold.

I love my Fishcat too, but it's not ideal for long hikes because it's neither small nor light, at least compared to some other models.

I have a a fish cat and agree when inflated it is awkward if hiking a long distance.

Can across this link which I thought would be ideal for long hikes
