night fly angling in trophy area advice please

[ruthead]

Is this the time of year the browns start moving up or is this early?

[trythisonemv]

End of September and into October is the usual time frame...

Some have started moving up. If D.O.'s don't tank on us, we might be in for a decent year. 

Caught these yesterday on a quick trip in the upper end

Save me a couple. 

Leaving shortly.

I fished through the night twice last week. The second night I threw really big stuff (sex dungeons, nut butters, cheech Leeches, and double d's) and ended up with 15 nice fish. Don't be afraid to go big but if you want number fish a zonker or mini leech.

Purples, whites, reds, blacks, olives, it didn't seem to matter with the big stuff. If you're fishing zonkers pick your color based on how bright the sky is and how clear the water is.

Think ill throw sculpins and some baitfish flies I concocted recently.  . . also may try a silly rabbit type fly and a muddler skittered across the top.  Ill be down the first and second over night.
