Absolutely best time just protect your eyes from errant casts. One of my best fly caught stripers was taken around midnight way up in back in an estuary drifting a black fly that looked like a small eel on a fast sinking line dragged along the bottom. At first I thought I snagged the bottom that was until it started to move. Not my biggest striper ever but 19 lbs on an orvis clearwater 8 wt in a ripping current it was a very memorable catch. I love drifting flies in the current at night.

After May 99% of my fishing is in the dark. No better time to be out there. You have it pretty good working second shift, I'd be out every night after work, and still be able to sleep. Can't tell you how many days I am like a zombie at work after fishing all night.

Best part,,,, 4 day workweek,,,, Fridays off! fish all morning til daylight, sleep all day.
Throwing plugs is one thing in the dark,,,, flyfishing could be a real trip! Literally! Great time to watch for UFOs when the bite is down.
