The time of day has less to do with successful trout fishing than in taking bass as trout are more often found in fast water where the visibility is poor. I have never had any particular success in early morning fishing and a hot breakfast should never be sacrificed for your eagerness to be up and at 'em. The evening fishing is worth looking forward to. It is then that the big hatches are on, in mid-season, and when large trout come out to feed in earnest. There is only one disadvantage in evening fishing and that is the pestiferous mosquito. Head net, gloves and smoking help but some dope is usually necessary. The famous one-two-three formula of Nessmuk is good: one part pennyroyal, two parts castor oil, three parts pine tar. Simmer together and bottle. A favorite in the middle west and one I can recommend from personal experience is: equal parts of oil of tar, oil of cedar, olive oil and citronella. Smear it on face, hands and neck. It is dirty, messy stuff but mosquitos and black flies stay away from it and it is healing to sunburn. |
