Black and white are good colors for flies.  Black leeches and they key into the profile.  Green Butt skunks work well.  Black with a white wing.  I've caught a ton in the dark.  Different experience for sure.

Glo ball,but you have to fish in FISHABLE water.you do;nt want to be tying leaders all nite,or casting in to snags
I'm not afraid of anything, and that scares me.

fish see in UV spectrum, i think glowballing is more for the fisherman's benefit(you can see your gear coming in when reeling it up, etc).  biggest reason i think night fishing for steelhead is more effective is that they'll come in closer to shore where you can get at them easier.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

If your in a boat try trolling lighted Brad's Wigglers at night, run them off of planer boards even better.
