On different forums I have read that many large trout, especially big Browns, are caught after dark on the Muddler where sight would be impossible. Some people claim it is most effective where big Browns target mice on occasion.
The terra nova river in central nfld has a pool called moonlight about 8-10 miles up by boat from the tch,an old guy told me the pool got its name because the salmon would take at night,i decided to try it,went the moon came out,i cast the big head MM across the pool,i could see 3-4 heavy rises on one cast,i released 3or 4 ,the only time i fished at night,in over 30 years on salmonrivers.day time fishing they would only take the small head MM
