Many of you are avid night fishermen, especially for trout, and I'm interested in your thoughts on night fishing during this time of year - mainly late Nov and Dec. Do you do this and, if so, is it productive or worthwhile? How does it compare to other months?
In my personal experience, night fishing in summer is very productive, both for trout and bass. This is - of course - common knowledge. Back in my night fishing heyday (I don't do a lot of night fishing anymore) I also found the autumn months up until the end of October to be excellent night fishing for river smallmouths. However, I never fished beyond Oct (that I can remember). It seems to me that night fishing on limestone trout streams ought to be pretty good this time of year where water temps remain warmer(?). With the shorter days this time of year, I'm tempted to try night fishing for trout sometime soon. Am I nuts?
I'm curious to hear your views/opinions on this idea. The conventional wisdom is that night fishing is a warm season game.....but I'm not so sure. Wild trout in limestoners can be pretty aggressive this time of year.
Hhmmm.....
