I go out on a local reservoir about an hour before sunset. Let the wind drift me. Drag frogs along the bottom. Catch channel cats.

The freaks come out at night.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

brown trout fishing the Hex hatch at night.
The Hex hatch is the largest mayflies in N. America.
Flies hatch starting after dark.
On a good hatch there are flies everywhere.
They land on your face, in your hair all over you.
Wading a river in the dark, feeling your way around.
The trout feed wildly. the rises to the flies sounds like someone is tossing rocks in the river.
The largest Browns are out and feeding heavily.
You cast your flies to the sound.
When you hear a rise you set the hook or you feel the hit and strike.

Nothing like it.

I used to night fish many nights during the Spring and Summer. Most of the spots near where I live now close at dusk.
