Night Fishing!!!

[mgliss]

i am hoping for some ideas here and would appreciate any feedback. I will be camping near my favorite spring creek this weekend and have always wanted to fish it at night. I know browns are nocturnal for the most part and am really hoping this big boys will come out. Are streamers my best bet? Will a headlamp put the fish down? Mice? If anyone has had any experience that could help I would appreciate it. Of course If everything goes well I will be sure to have pics and a full report! Thanks in advance!

BE CAREFUL! And I think I remember seeing Joe Humphreys on a video somewhere, looking for a 20 lb. brown, at night, and I seem to recall they were using red lights, just like you'd use in a photo lab.

Correct me if I am wrong but don't trout see in the red spectrum of light?? I would go with green, its brighter at night and doesn't kill your night vision, learned that from using Night Vision Goggels in Iraq. You can buy lights that mount on your ball cap that have green LED's from Wal Mart for 10 bucks.

Sounds like you've got a pretty good start.

Streamers (red and purple work well at night). Keep the light off. Mice are always good.

I was able to get out Friday night for about three hours. Lets just say it was both dissapointing and fulfilling. Ill have a better report in the Dad and the Kid 2009 fishing reports. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
