do trout in stocked lakes bite at night?

On heavily pressured lakes and streams, or lakes with very clear water where trout are suspect to pretators, Browns will sometimes become almost completely nocturnal. I know of lakes where you can catch rainbows all day, but never see a brown until the sun goes down.

Browns are known to be good night feeders. In most of our stocked lakes up north, it's bows, brooks, and splake, none of which are known to be much for nite biters. We've kept lines out from the campsite while sitting around the campfire (till 11, of course) and never had much luck. Never hurts to try though.

lines from the campsite probally won't do much good at night. it seems that most nocternal browns are feeding towards the surface. We do a lot of flyfishing for browns at night up here in the rivers and it seems that they like either streamers fished right below the surface or big loud surface flies. I've tried other techniques, but the majority of the fish have come up top.

i have done well after dark on some lakes for rainbows and splake. We used slip bobbers from shore and set them 2-4 feet with worms on the hook. The biggest rainbows i ever caught out of this lake were after dark o yeah use lighted bobbers.
