Good fish guys! Like the fashionable orange lifejacket too. Lol. I bass fish at night all the time but have never given trout a thought at night. Judging from your pics, I need to give it a try.

Night time is the right time!

This was a totally random freak occourrence. No need to give it a try. :D


By the way nice fish guys.

Hey Travis,

I have a night time bite you may be interested in. An 8 wt fly rod and a few top secret, super special flies are all you need...and one other component, but I'll keep that mum until I talk to you.

We are heading up there tomorrow night to see if we can get into some of them. Taking up the kayaks and give it a try. Nice fish!!!

There were a bunch of yaks and bank fisherman below the dam tonight. My gf caught a couple trout around 12" . They were kinda brown with light colored tan spots!! I don't have a clue about trout.

[white95v6]

a few good things about night time. its not as hot. and there are less ppl on the water.

Also went last night and floated from the dam to happy. Started at sunset, fished the dam until dark and then went to happy. Fished until 3 am. We had several trout from 18-21" and lost a mid twenties and had one on that I couldn't stop...on its second jump it shook the lure. Sounded like a bowling ball hitting the water as it landed. Too dark to see it. WAS BIG! Also missed several hits. First time doing a night float! Fun stuff!

I probably saw you there. We came down on the bank and fished from around 7-930 pm. My buddy caught 5 good Crappie there earlier in the week!! That trout fishing is kinda fun!!!

[MNfisher]

Probably did! We were 3 guys in kayaks that came up to the dam and fished til dark. I love catching trout, especially the big ones!

[Cerealkiller]

Interested to know.

Yeah I saw three or four show up at dark along with a couple little john boats that were already there!! I like that cool air down there.

crankbaits,jerbaits and spinners.

crankbaits,jerbaits and spinners.

I second that motion

[Travis C.]

crankbaits,jerbaits and spinners.

Those are productive but not the most fun. If I am not fly fishing for them then I will be throwing your typical jerkbaits and the most fun in my opinion Pop-R's, Torpedos, or Skitter Pops

Try one next night out. Don't "pop" the bait or jerk. Instead all you do is a painfully slow retreive creating a "V" wake with the lure. I have had fish come completely out of the water hitting it. The browns will crush it like a bass under lilly pads on a frog. ;)

This one was a Pop-R eater last fall.

On the buggy whip, a foam bodied mouse pattern can be a blast. You get to deal with the fight entirely by hand, unless the brown is a bruiser that gets on the reel. I also like deer hair bugs, but foam floats better and is easier to cast. Since I tie most of my own flies, I like the ease of use that comes with tying foam flies as opposed to spinning deer hair.

A buddy of mine also fishes big zonker style rabbit strip patterns in black the threads a foam popper body on backwards similiar to a T-rigged worm. The body keeps it up and the hair gives great action. If no bite on top he'll take it off and use same fly as a standard streamer.
