night trolling for trout?

Wanted to head out to Berry and/or some lakes in the mountains when the WX is not good on the ocean.  Has anyone had luck trolling for trout at night with the usual dodger and worm set up?
Just figured that cooler temps at night and less PBs would be the best time to target trout in the summer.
Thanks

Hmmm, looks like gray area to me.  I've always been under the impression trout fishing was not allowed at night, but looks like Berry is okay?

Yeah I would look in on that I was always under the impression you couldn't fish for trout at night.maybe pm atavuss (king trout) he might know

Wow I didn't know that.  Good to know.  Wonder why?

I think Melones and Camanche allow night fishing but you need to be on the anchor.  The fishing reports for New Melones tout the use of a worm under a light (as an attractant I guess).  Floating the yak under the stars is still ideal, though.

The regs say that Berryessa is okay so if that is where you are going.  Looks legal to me.  Kind of a double negative but it basically says that you can fish night or day in Berryessa or Mendocino Lake.  The other places listed you can fish night or day but not for trout or salmon. 

I haven't done it at Berryessa, but in some central valley lakes, hitting the dam area at night with crappie lights and minnows are the way to catch the big ones especially during the heat of summer.

I need to try that, I rigged up a light for sardine fishing/safety a little bit ago and haven't used it on the water yet. Gotta try it on Berry or Pine flat.

It rigged up with quick disconnects and Y's off the plug that powers my fishfinder.


Don't think people will miss this.

Wow that's a sweet set up with the lights!
I work in NJ 1/2 the year so as you know it gets really hot in the north East.
So to target cold water species one needs to go out at night:
After the SS2 I noticed that the pb activity was insane and service temp was getting on the warm side.
