Night fly fishing can be, for most novice fishers, a delicate approach in implementing this sport. To go out in the dark could mean many things. It can mean an exciting feat to overcoming different fears and challenges that the dark has to offer compared when an angler is fishing in broad daylight.

But night fishing, depending on the purpose of the fly fisher, can be useful in some ways. For instance, fishing during the day when the specie that you are looking forward to catch doesn't normally swim the waters at this time of the day normally suggests that night is the best time to do it. To emphasize this point further, large trouts for example, are best to catch at night during the summer days. This doesn't literally mean that you are just pointlessly trying to fish at night just for the challenge it offers.

With a few simple additions to your gear and some careful planning, it's not as hard as many anglers think to enjoy fishing at night.

There are three key aspects to safe and successful night fishing:

1. Organisation – During the course of a day's fishing, your equipment tends to get strewn around the place. At night, this simply won’t work. You have to get organised and make sure that everything you may need to re-bait or re-tackle is kept tidily in the bivvy.

It can get very dark away from the streetlights, so you’ll need to remember a small pocket torch, but nothing so bright that it’s going to put off other anglers.

2. Safety – When it’s dark, you’re tired and you’re near deep water, it pays to be tidy. You should make sure there is nothing sticking out that you can trip over or get caught on. Make sure you can see the water’s edge, or at least know just where it is.

If You Have Never Used A Blacklight While Night Fishing, You're Missing Out!

We all know the benefits of night fishing - bigger catches and calmer waters are just two, however, night fishermen have several challenges that "day time" fishermen do not have to deal with.

Note: Not only is a blacklight nice to have, as you will soon see, but the "Evening Secret" is a device that will take fishing to a new level all together. (www.eveningsecretfishing.com/specialsecret/blacklight.php)

One of the most difficult challenges is, of course, being able to see your line to find out if you have had a hit. Here is one way of easily being able to watch your line at night.

Use a blacklight and a fluorescent fishing line.

When fishing at night, it may be a few seconds before you know you have one on the line. By this time, the fish could already be under your boat or have begun it's mad dash to the opposite shoreline.
