So I gave the night fishing a shot... and it is not easy.
-- I didn't have a red light on my head lamp, so every time I turned it on I was swarmed by bugs - like could barely keep my eyes open swarmed. There was heavy cloud cover so no moonlight to help guide me. Thus, I did not cover much ground or water. I knew where some trout were holding from the previous evening so I pretty much focused on one spot. Going elsewhere likely would have been a disaster.
I tried a couple wooly buggers, and a few larger dries for about 40 minutes total before I got too fed up and went to watch an incredible light show of lightnin bugs on the edge of a thicket nearby. I waited out the darkness and resumed normal vision fishing at first light - much more my style.
BUT, I managed to land one in the dark! A golden that was obviously stocked at some point (I cant imagine any native goldens exist in VA), but a nice fish all the same.
