208, RE: Shooting the Moon

This summer at a trophy trout lake in Oregon about seven days before the full moon the browns went crazy, quite a few over ten including one over twenty along with many other nice fish between five and nine pounds. Stockers are weird fish, seen them in the middle of large lakes swimming in circles they probaly break most of the rules. Some guys on the White River system in Arkansas swear by the full moons at night and big browns at night, my best night bite was on a night with about 1/2 a moon showing and the only reason the bite stopped was that we ran out of flies. Browns are harder to predict then bass.

One strange thing about last weekend on the Delta by Suisun was that there were very few fish busting shad at night which they usually always do. After some light came on the water the bite was on. Very confusing.
