Night Fishing

[John19]

I was just wondering if anyone fishes for trout here in Colorado at night. Not necessarily through the night, but even a few hours after sunset or before sunrise. I've done alot of moonlighting for eyes & crappies , and was wondering if the trout are active at night as well. What do you guys think??

anyone else?

Since I only fish for Lakers in the winter I have found the magic hour is around 9:00 am
and 1 o pm. I usually hit the road about 2:30 to beat the ski traffic.I wonder what would happen if a guy was to drop one of those glow sticks in his hole at night? That might draw them in.

Good Fishin

We have good luck at 11 mile during the winter the 1st couple hours before sunrise 5 AM or so. In the summer from sunset till midnight is also a good bite!

i have wondered the same thing! lately I have been staying out around 2 hours on the ice after dark and not a bite! in the summer i haven't had a whole lot of luck w/ the night bite either w/ trout.

I have not done much through the ice but we fish a local lake for crappie and do well with a light out. The crappie really start coming in on the baitfish. And, to my dismay, we manage to catch a whole lot of trout. We started using circle hooks last year so that we could release the slimy things but yes they bite at night very well.

Thanks for the replys! I guess the tough thing with fishing at night here in Colorado is that we can only use portable shacks. Its sure a lot cozier in a permenant shelter,to get through the cold and wind at night.I've never been disappointed with the early morning bite!!!
