During warmer months, I fish for trout almost exclusively at night. My biggest brown this year went 7.5 lbs. I use minnowbaits in the 4-4.5 inch size and vary my retrieve from super erratic to a ultra slow crawl. From happy up to the dam is best, you just need to get used to wherever you're going before attempting it at night.

Once fall sets on, I stay off the caney to avoid catching browns on redds. There are other fish I chase that make up for the stoppage in trout fishing, and the browns can spawn in peace.
