Default Night Time Fishing

I was wondering if anyone fishes at night? I don't ever recall reading in the regs that you couldn't. Do fish bite at night?? What fish are active at night? Very curious

nice fish! Maybe next time though the rocks might not be the best spot for him, leave it in the net, or take a pic in the water.

im the mighty Kreskin......alabubba-bamma-boo-doo-wacky-dacky-i-nooahassume-icansee-aah-thepast-a and the future.

Why baitfisher did you use a barbed hook to catch that fish..........NOT COOL
Why did you use the roe from a sturgeon for bait...........bad girl!!!!!!!!!!!
Using a gaff is not cool, just because you forgot your net.......Illegal!!!!!
Shame on you for harvesting a legal fish to eat......there goes another quality fishery..................................i hope your proud of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!






p.s
Nice fish.....thanks for posting
Bon Appetite

I think if you look at the regulations carefully you will find some bodies of water are closed at night, I think I saw this regulation for PCR open water. That being said I have has some good luck just after dark catching rainbows.

And that fish looks tasty baitfisher 83

Back in my bellyboat day's we fished for trout almost exclusively after dark during the summer. Still remember fishing the bridge at Police Outpost after dark too. About 15min. after dark the big bruisers moved into the shallows.
Summer of 83 we fished Kamloops, the locals had never seen a real bellyboat and thought we were nuts heading out at midnight but man did we catch fish, all shallow. Big ol' wooly bugger, black.
