Nice fish guys!  I'm totally jealous of the goldfish!

That has been my experience as well. I have used black woolly buggers to devastating effect at night.

Good point Jeff.  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.

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.

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.

Poppers and gurglers at night? is that common?  I haven't done much fishing at night but I guessed that most of the fishing was streamers.  What about nymphs?
