One of the coolest things I picked up when I was a kid was night angling. And regarding night angling, we always went for trout. The cool thing is that Brown trout really love feeding at night, and that is when they get really aggressive.
The best method that I found was to use a worm and floated it through the rapids and along beside overhanging banks. Sometimes you need to add a split shot or two if the water is flowing too fast, because you want it to bounce along the bottom or just off the bottom a couple inches.
Also there is another great way to catch brown trout in the middle of the night, it doesn't require any crazy tricks. There are some other methods you can use to get you great results as well. Some of these tips I learned from a very experienced person years ago.
This method consisted of driving down back roads in the daytime to locate potential hot-spots that we thought would produce trout in the night time. The first thing you would look for is a stream that passed under the road through a culvert. The best ones, were ones that on each side of the road the streams would be choked with bushes so that the fisherman could not travel along the stream. This meant that there wasn't much fishing pressure of the trout stream.
In the evening, trout come out of the bushy area to feed. And they come out from the bushy section of the stream and go into the culverts to feed. So what we would do is cast our worms up underneath the culvert, and leave them set there. Every once in awhile we would pick our fishing rod and tighten the line. Now browns will take the bait and just sit there with the worm in his mouth. Once you feel a tug, that means you needed to set the hook.
The great part about this is we could just stand around chat, or even sit in our vehicles and be comfortable. If I remember right we solved a lot of the world's problems while we waited. Then every once in awhile we would get out of vehicles and go check our fishing rods. Like I said earlier the benefits was a comfortable and dry night of fishing, no huge animals sneaking up on me out in the woods. Now I know that there really wasn't anything sneaking up on me other than my fear while I was walking through the cedar swamps in the middle of the night.
