Tip 26 - Fishing in the Early Season – Night Fishing

Once the ice melts off of rivers and inland lakes you can bet that it’s time for fly fishing. Look for dark colored bays where the temperature of the water will rise faster than other areas of the lake. You’ll find lots of bass and panfish in these waters. Early season fishing is a great way that you can start your fly fishing as early in the year as possible.

Night fishing for fish is usually practiced in those areas of the United States where the weather is hot and uncomfortable to fish during the day. This includes areas such as reservoirs in the southeast and west. When the weather is hot, plenty of fish tend to go to deeper depths during the day and they can only be caught by night fishing. During the night, when it is colder, fish will move up to the shallower waters where they will feed on crawfish.

Night fishing can be a lot of fun but you need take special precautions, such as being aware of the area that you are fishing in and recalling to wear your life jacket.

You'll know when it is time to start night fishing when the larger fish stop biting during the hot day. Night fishing is usually practiced when there's water temperatures that are in the middle 60's and hotter.

When it comes to night fishing there's two phases of the moon that you’ll need to be aware of. The best times to fish at night will occur two times a month: two days before a full or new moon and two days after a full or new moon. This includes the day of the full or new moon.
