Jack Jones Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I know folks are always talking about stripping pine marabous, buggers, and other streamers at night, but does anyone have an opinion on, or experience with dead drifting scuds, or midges after dark? Is it productive or a waste of time? I want to head down to the hatchery one of these nights and stay past dark, but don't want to waste my time using the least effective flies.

snagged in outlet 3 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 I think they use lighted bobbers. Oops, I mean "indicator". Pete
Wayne SW/MO Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Anything stripped offers the "tug" as an indicator. If you want to offer something different try some soft hackles. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Leonard Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Hey jack.. Nymphing at can be very rewarding. I would say up size your midges and scuds. When I use this set-up I like to use a size #12 midge and run a dropper #12 scud or even a egg... Anglers and Archery carries the floats and light sticks .. Although when the water is off I think I rather be stripping streamers.. http://www.taneycomonights.com
Jack Jones Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 Thanks Leonard.....any recommendations on sizes of buggers at night? Was thinking size 10 or 8 in black or olive? Also, what are your thoughts about stripping cracklebacks at night? "Thanks to Mother Mercy, Thanks to Brother Wine, Another night is over and we're walking down the line" - David Mallett
