I was fishing at 4MR this afternoon and a fellow on a bike was talking to me as I was gearing up in the grass. He said when he was riding on the bridge to work this morning (around 5 AM) when he saw two guys fishing with "headlights" on. He said he stopped to watch and saw one hook "a big boy" but was on the bridge and couldn't see too well just heard all the splashing.Just letting you know that you've got a fan.

It actually makes sense when you think that the background from the fish's perspective is the sky, which holds a whole lot more light than the water. So black makes a really defined silhouette. That was my rationale for throwing dark streamers when I was out there, but not sure how deep in the water column that holds true.On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 12:35 PM, Jeffrey Silvan <jeffre...@gmail.com> wrote:One thing to keep in mind when fishing topwater at night is black tends to be the most visible color (to the fish). It seems counter intuitive, but it works.--On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 12:25 PM, Matthew Longley <matthew...@gmail.com> wrote:Would be interested in what others think, but with nymphs its a lot harder to cover water at night, and somewhere open like 4MR you'll need to cover a lot of water as there aren't many obvious holding areas.
I know that in salt, poppers and gurglers are go-to flies at night, especially for stripers in the surf. Figures it would translate. The key is that you're increasing the exposure of the fly to fish through sound and moving water.To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/--
