Guest Sundancefisher Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I am old, eyes are old, dark comes to soon these days. Therefore I need glow in the dark corkies for night fishing. Any ideas? Cheers Sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I've tryed them before years ago ,they only glowed for 5 minutes then you had to shine light on it for 5 minutes.It was a pain ,when it gets dark you just have to go by feel.I've never heard of battery corkies.

I wonder if these could be jury rigged to act like a toothpick in a corky? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...rset=ISO-8859-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 That would be one hell of a big corky ,you could put it in a small clear balloon before you blow it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Louise craft has glow in the dark paint and a UV light will make it glow in mili seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanJuanWorm Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I believe u can't fish with anything battery powered for light. Its against the regs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 if you have a glow in the dark indicator you might want to attach a hook to it! just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Dave .. not so. "It Is Unlawful To ... Use lights to sportfish unless the light is attached to a hook or line used in angling." From AGTSR Go to: General Sportfishing Restrictions You just can't jacklight fish. Interesting angle though. So does it mean ya can't use a flashlight to tie on a new fly after dark? hummmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Din Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 thingamabobbers are coming out with a new glow in the dark version of the ones they make...seen a few of them. not sure on the length of time that they actually glow. so if you could get your hands on them might be worth a shot..

cheeler Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Interesting angle though. So does it mean ya can't use a flashlight to tie on a new fly after dark? hummmmm You just need to temporarily tie it to your line first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 if its unlawfull then what do you have to say about my 1.5V battery with a hook hot glued to it....its how they electro catch fish right....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Fishing in the dark I like a white indicator. Works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownstone Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 use a syringe to extract the liquid from a glow stick and insert it into a large size thingamabobber, about 1/2 or so full, important to use a large bobber as your going to lose buoyancy with the liquid in there, seal with a drop of putty or tape, something you can remove to reuse the bobber . you have glowing fishing fun for hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 You can also just nymph with a tight line sands indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I suppose you could try to use small pieces of heat shrink tubing on the mini glow sticks Sundance mentioned. The trick would be not melting your lines in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordon Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 brownstone has a really good idea there..... squeeze a bit of the glow stuff in and shake it around to coat the inside maybe?....then you could put a dab of superglue over the hole and scrap it off with an exacto blade to re-use....
