Something I've got to try,,,

[jeffsod]

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.
