The spring peepers start chirping, the sun lingers on the horizon and I leave the house at dusk with a headlamp, a 6, 7 or 8wt and some streamers. Although my night fishing typically starts closer to June, I couldn't resist going out to check things out.
On the lake near here it is the midges that get the food chain buzzing. The midges start to hatch, the bait fish and gills move in to mop up and the predator fish follow right behind.
Tonight the midges were in evidence but not quite a blanket hatch. I connected with one white bass and two walleyes. The water is so clear that it is easy to see the bottom with the aid of a headlamp after dark.
Things are warming up.
