Fly by Night
I took a shot at tying a few fly's for myself and came up with a few different profiles. I didn't have all the tools to do this properly, but for a novice I think they turned out OK.
I headed out last night as the sun was setting and stillness settled in.
A simple bobber cast to the shore line would be the approach in the 65 degree water. I picked up a fish here and there every so often, but no fast action. Rip Rap proved to produce the best results and I picked up one big female at 13 3/4. This technique proved to be effective on bass as well so those guys might ought to consider the technique. Eventually I was out of jerky and grew tired but I thoroughly enjoyed having the lake to myself. I would call the fly's a success as I actually caught fish on them. Now hopefully I do not sleep in too late.

Float n Fly technique can easily be found on the internet. Especially youtube. No trout fly's are used that I am aware of but I could be wrong.Originally Posted by stormcloud

Well Chris if I used "Shot in the dark" I might get in trouble for copyright infringement with Ozzy Osbourne.
Maybe "I swear I don't have a gun". No wait Nirvana did that one.
Perhaps "The shot heard around the world" would be more appropriate.

Cool, never thought about using the green light like that for night floater fishing shallower waters. Nice Specks and Green Fish.
