I have caught a lot of fish  in the dark, but none out in the salt.   Ringold used to be an awesome night fishery.

Since when? I think most of it is closed to salmon fishing at night to curb the snagging but a lot of itis open for steelhead.

it is in oregon, but it's on a case by case basis here.  most rivers are open to it until around august, and then after november, mainly due to night time snagging issues during salmon season.  they're all open at night unless otherwise stated in the regs.

i used to love fishing the kalama down at beginners hole for steelhead this time of year, get off work at 2, be on the river by 3, and be heading home with limits by 4:30.  the local hicks with their treble hooks ruined that one, it's got a night closure now.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

Its easier to get home with those natives if you do it after dark.   


 :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: That was intended to be funny but could be easily construed as being nasty :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:  My sole intention was to give you the spurs, and rub salt into open wounds just because I am mean and cold hearted. :)

Most of the night closures begin Aug 1

Oh there's the lightbulb. Youre right! I wasn't reading it right. From now on Im calling you for my hunting and fishing regs interpreter.  :tup:  Thanks Mr. Nubbs

Anyways I think bone may have jacked this thread. I'll be watching (easy to take natives  :chuckle: )
You're never lost if ya don't care where ya are!
