    Re: "Night Fishing" - trout in the darkness

    Night Angler,

    I had to ties stillwater flies today with Davy. We were busy doing this till 5. Then we went streamer fishing for a few hours on the White. The streamer bite was good but the hookups were slow! I landed one nice fat brown of abou 19 inches.

    The fishing yesterday was insane! We landed tons of bows and cutts to 18 inches! The fish ate Dynamite worms, DW midges and DW sowbugs. Davy has the best sow bug pattern that trout have ever seen! I can vouch for it! So bottom line AR is great and I am having fun!

    Re: "Night Fishing" - trout in the darkness


    In my many years experience night time fishing when there is zero light source and when we have very heavy fog is mainly a waste of time.

    Browns do have the ability to detect sound and movement, but they also need to sight a target such as as fly, unlike say locating a soft shell crawdad that is inanimate at that time.
    The same scenario for sea trout, there has to be some available light source which allows the trouts receptors to see the target, all be it the trouts eye is well adapted to conditions of diminished and little light source.

    Regarding many of my DW range of special fly patterns, they will be available soon for you guys who want to obtain them. I need to get some pictorials up on my web site.
    Both river and lake flies.

    One further thing l would add here is this. Trophy Browns found here on the White river system are probably the hardest of fish to catch for the reasons that they simply see way too much traffic and all manner of angler methods to catch them.

    Fishing for those trophy browns when they are on spawing beds either pre or post spawn, there is no difference, is not a ethical way to justify a trophy in my book.
    Same deal goes on around the hatchery outlets, no difference.

    There are some guides here that choose to fish clients on fish at that time, the majority of which are foul hooked. It is also at that time l have seen the worst of behaviour between so called fly fishers.

    Go nail a 10 fish at any other time and l will take my hat off to you, l know what it takes to catch them.

    Davy.
