Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Night time Mousing for Trout?

Everyone had already exited the water when we started mousing that first night. We were standing on a sand bar by ourselves.

The second night there were a couple of fellows on the far left of us, but as soon as my buddy landed that first fish and they got a look at it they exited pretty quickly.
The San Juan River is a great place and does tend to get crowded, but it seems that most fisherman have their own favorite spots and usually stay close to them.

Black shows well against the night sky from a fish's view.

Mouse or other large patterns fished downstream to big browns. I love big wet flies with lots of black and a bit of white. Night bug hatches are fun too. The "Hex" hatch in the midwest comes to mind.
