Try it on a full moon if you really want some fun.

That sounds like a blast, but I would probably wimp out at about10pm. Either that or fall asleep in my tube.
Are you bass fishing? Is it best to use a red light to tie your fly on or just do it by guess?

We tore up Salmon dam a few times at night. I fished Strike at night and was skunked. I like night fishing. Ron

I prefer the red light. Doesn't spook the near by fish as much.

Are there any safety issues on the reservoirs that there might be boats on? Running lights?

I guess you have to have a light on to be legal. I use led stick on lights and I use two or three of them. Ron

So in Calif. is it only on certain occasions or nights that you are allowed to night fish? It sounds like this was a special trip that was arraigned for float tubes. Are most of your waters that way?

Well, there is not that many natural lakes here. Most are
man made reservoirs. So yes, they want everyone out by dark. Sucks but thats what it is.

Peter,
Great fishing with you even if the fishing was not so good.
It's a great experience being out on the lake on such a beautiful night (no wind, no boats).
Cpierce,
Most of our lakes do not allow night boating outside of these "special events". A few of them allow shore fishing at night.

I rigged a clamp on navigation light onto my toon. Works both as a work light and navigation light.[cool] Runs off of two D cell batteries.

Hey Peter I was wondering if you could PM me the next night float. I looked at the site and everything looks great!! I plan on staying the night instead of trying to leave at midnight. How big is the lagoon? & was there an inclusive price or is it the $11 for your car & the $6 for non-motorized vessel?Thanks for the help I've been dying to try new spots out and see some other tubes and tubers out there, few and far between down here.
