 Posts: 2611 | My advice on musky: GO BIG. Same goes for browns at night. LARGE dry flies - like sizes 10, 8, and 6, and big streamers are the way to go. The larger fish come out under the cover of darkness and they aren't looking for size 16 midge patterns... Jonathon | |
| No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||

 Posts: 653 | advice from others who know: don't wade anywhere at night that you haven't thoroughly explored in the day. even so, take a wading staff and a flashlight. apparently it's easy to get "turned around." and let us know how you do. i'm trying this year not to be so scared of the dark, and some motivation is needed! | |
