Having said that, fishing from the boat at night can really produce. Everything comes at you much quicker at night and safety is the first concern when you are in the boat at night on a river. Before we talk any further, make sure you are VERY comfortable rowing the stretch of water that you intend to fish. After each cast, take a step downstream so that you are covering all the water.Īnother really fun option is to fish at night from a boat or raft and beat the banks with bright streamers or mouse patterns. Starting at the top I’d make a cast towards the far bank, throw in a quick down stream mend and then let the fly skate across the surface. I like to fish the runs the same way I would fish a streamer. Try using 2x first, and if that proves to be too heavy, switch to 3x but very rarely do you need to go any finer than that, even in areas that are heavily fished. If the moon is bright enough, often you can still see the take as you would during the day, but if not, your going to have to rely on your sense of feel. Typically when fishing at night I use much heavier tippet then I would use during the day because fish tend to slam flies harder and a lot of times you wont know there is a fish until you feel the tug. It floats really well and skates across the surface with ease. My favorite caddis pattern for fishing at night is the Goddard Caddis. If you are anywhere there is a prolific caddis hatch, which is almost everywhere, swinging and skating caddis can be deadly.
The biggest fish in the river come out after dark and there are some really fun ways to fish for them. By Johnny Spillane Some of the most fun I have ever had fishing has been after the sun goes down.
