I love fishing, and one of the best parts of fishing was in the evening. Going for Brown trout at night was fun, as they are great fighters at night. Let's take a look at best ways to have a great time fishing at night.
I like to use bait, and when I do, I would use floaters and worms. The best thing was to use a worm and floated it through the rapids and along beside overhanging banks. Sometimes you need to add a split shot or two if the water is flowing too fast, since having the bait floating at or very near the bottom is the key to success.
Also there is another great way to catch brown trout in the middle of the night, and you don't have to worry about the monstrous animals that are lurking in the woods, just waiting to eat you. I learned this method from an older gentleman that was a great friend of mine. He has since passed away. Norm taught me how to trap mink and muskrats along some of the streams that we fished together a lot of years ago.
This method consisted of driving down back roads in the daytime to locate potential hot-spots that we thought would produce trout in the night time. The first thing you would look for is a stream that passed under the road through a culvert. The best ones, were ones that on each side of the road the streams would be choked with bushes so that the fisherman could not travel along the stream. This meant that there wasn't much fishing pressure of the trout stream.
In the evening, trout come out of the bushy area to feed. And they come out from the bushy section of the stream and go into the culverts to feed. So what we would do is cast our worms up underneath the culvert, and leave them set there. Every once in awhile we would pick our fishing rod and tighten the line. Now browns will take the bait and just sit there with the worm in his mouth. Once you feel a tug, that means you needed to set the hook.
A large part of this did require patience and waiting. If I remember right we solved a lot of the world's problems while we waited. Then every once in awhile we would get out of vehicles and go check our fishing rods. Like I said earlier the benefits was a comfortable and dry night of fishing, no huge animals sneaking up on me out in the woods. Now I know that there really wasn't anything sneaking up on me other than my fear while I was walking through the cedar swamps in the middle of the night.
