After two months of listening to continual bragging by two bait chuckers, of monster browns and bows caught, I decided to give it a try.

I arrived at the city park around 1630 and moved out in my float tube. My intial game plane was to fish deep around docks and obstructions. After an hour of not even seeing a fish I switched to fishing an intermediate line with a leech pattern. Almost at once I started catching 1-2 lb lg mouths. Since I could not catch a trout I decided to go after the bass, I switched to woolly bugger variation I created while fishing for sm mouth on the Medina in Texas, and shortly landed two nice fish over 3lbs.

Around 9:30 I switched back to trout, using a multitude of retrieves lines and flies I still could not catch any trout. I even trolled (god forbid) a large minnow muddler after dark but only saw bats.

Are there still trout in Pine Lake and if so what am I doing wrong?

Pine Lake Bats

Being a novice night trout fisher, I would appreciate any hints or tips considering what flies to use when the bats are out...:+ :+

Pine Lake Bats

I noticed that every time I cast they would fly in on me, I even hit one with my back cast and it crashed into the back of my tube.

A hatch did start right at dark, but I could not tell what and could not hear any fish.

Go ahead and laugh...

temp. in the shade was mid 50's, but higher in the open shallow areas.
