Tip! This might be the first time that the family is going to the lake. It will be a good idea to ask if there is a guide that will be able to direct the people to the best fishing site.

Night fishing is a serious challenge even to experienced fishermen. It is getting more and more popular these days, especially on lake Taneycomo and other lakes where the water stream is not so dangerous. Night fishing is also popular on riverbanks. There are several basic things you need to know before attempting to go night fishing. To fly a fish at night is not as easy as it may seem to the uninitiated.

First things first. Before going out with your flyfishing enthusiasm in the middle of the night, you’d better have checked the water area during the day. Carefully examine the bank and the lay of water. Although it may seem knee-deep on most places, there are exceptionally deep drop-offs, riffles and holes where you may get stuck in the dark. To reduce the risk of drowning, be very careful not to go far away in the water. Wade only to the level of your calves, not more, unless you are very experienced or you know the area like your palm. When night fishing, you should take your waders with you, they are perfect for the muddy conditions which you have to overcome. The thing to have in mind about your waders is not to let any water in. Hypothermia is not an option, but will inevitably come if you stay with wet legs for several hours, waiting for the trout to peck. Another thing goes: be cautious enough to take your cell phone with you, so that you can phone whenever you like if a problem occurs. If the current is very strong, you’d better not try night fishing by yourself. The water stream can be quite dangerous at night, and if you are on yourself things may go fatal.

Tip! The favorite crab for crab fishing is the blue crab, which is called Callinectes sapidus scientifically. And like its name,the blue crab comes in shades of blue, olive-green, and red.

A great number of fishermen follow the above-mentioned instructions, hoping for a good catch, but still the fish is silent. What can be the reason? First and foremost, the weather conditions. Night fly fishing requires dark and moonless nights for the trout to come up. Night fishing on rainy weather can be profitable for some fishermen, because the sky is cloudy and there is no moonlight.

Another question of interest is on how long intervals the trout is feeding. It comes up usually for half an hour, in between two hours’ periods of silence. But the meal-time can be different and you have to be careful and attentive all night.

Tip! Check your line just above the lure frequently when fishing crankbaits around rocks, gravel, stumps, and other hard obstructions. They can quickly fray your line.

What about the bait? Anything is possible, the choice is yours. Flies from small nymphs to bigger Woolies can be substantial. It depends on the weather conditions, and also on the trout’s appetite.

Bearing in mind these suggestions, you may soon fall in love with night fly fishing. It is not just a fishing occupation, it is a great adventure, a dark time to muse and enjoy nature.
