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.

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.

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.

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!!!
