Night fishing can be very productive. The big preditors move into the shore line at that time. Work the water 2 to 4 feet deep. Yes it's a tuff go for gear heads, this is where us dry addicts have the edge. Take along some work gloves to release the bats. Yes expect to catch bats, they are out hunting flies at that time.

Hey newsman,

  So the bats will snatch the fly out of the air in mid cast ? That would be hectic situation I can imagine. I am going to be trying some night fishing up in the Merrit region tomorrow and I don't want my 'night bite' to actually bite. Going on some old timers experiences, I am going to try some really huge and hairy dry presentations fished right on the shoals.
