Fly Fishing At Night?

[FlyFishingEMT]

I went down to the bow last night after hearing some rumours of big browns feeding later at night but didn't have much luck. So I'm looking for some tips on how to nymph in the dark? Is there such a thing as a glow in the dark indicator? Any useful tips or tricks for fishing at night would be greatly appreciated.

Yep!

Although I believe the preferred technique when fishing in the dark is either swinging/stripping flies or streamers in the current, and letting the fish hook themselves.

Don't nymph. Throw on a chernobyl ant and start twitching it from 20ft to tight to the bank. Set the hook when you here "sploosh".

 

Cheers.

Nymphing would certainly not be my first choice at night...

Hey thanks guys. What about headlamps? Do you turn them off when you have your line in the water or do you think it makes a difference?

This time of year swing a "Skid Bitch"!

P.S. You might want to bring some clean underwear to change into for the drive home! LoL (when the big boys hit it can scare the $hit out of you!)

Note that using a headlamp to attract fish is against the regulations but using a glow in the dark indicator should be ok:

 

It Is Unlawful To:

Use lights to sportfish unless the light is attached to a hook or line used in angling.
