This is certainly no secret so I will go ahead and tell you that in the Fall Oct, Nov, many night owls come out to play at the Pali
es Dam under the lights. This year the water was low so the snag monsters came out in force. Everyone has their favorite spot some closer and some farther from the dam. I have caught fish using white 3" tube jigs tipped with minnows or worms, Rapalas, and a double fly rig. We use a heavy weight on the bottom and then rig the streamers above the weight. Every night is different, but it is always interesting. Make sure you bring a strong head lamp, and a lantern so that you can retie with ease. You will snag up and lose gear. We usually fish from about dark until 2 A.M. It is cold, but it is a fun social event kind of like ice fishing.
I have also caught fish after dark float tubing at 24 mile Res. In late July. There are times when the fish go crazy as the water cools in the evening. I was just stripping leeches.
Good Luck
