Best Fishing For Trout At Night

One of the coolest things I picked up when I was a kid was night angling. And regarding night angling, we always went for trout. The cool thing is that Brown trout really love feeding at night, and that is when they get really aggressive.

The best method that I found 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, because you want it to bounce along the bottom or just off the bottom a couple inches.

Also there is another great way to catch brown trout in the middle of the night, it doesn't require any crazy tricks. There are some other methods you can use to get you great results as well. Some of these tips I learned from a very experienced person years ago.

The first thing you need to do is scope out potential hot spots. 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. All you needed to do every so often was check your hooks and bait. Talk about way to get out there and do some fishing, and enjoy the piece and quiet of the eve.
