Rainbows at Night?
« on: Jan 22, 2006, 07:40 PM »
Has anyone had any luck catching rainbows at night? I usually fish in 3-6 FOW and have caught a few this year in the early morning. Is the night a better time? Considering it gets dark at 5 pm, how late are we talking ???  ???

Can't say that I know for sure, but I know that brown trout are by far the most nocturnal members of the salmonidae family.  I don't know how the rainbows will be, but you'll never know unless you find out!  :)

I've done pretty good catching rainbows at night through the open water... I've never tried it through the ice though... :-\

I have also done really well for rainbow's at night.  I also like to brook trout fish at night have had good success at it.  Mostly in pond's and small lakes.  Never tried through the ice.  May have to try it some night soon.   :tipup:   :D

Try it, they will bite. A couple years ago I was setting up for rainbows at 5AM, by the time I got my 5th tipup in the first one was up and running. A 20" rainbow and it was pitch black out.
