I'll discuss flies and tackle for all conditions below. One more serious safety consideration for night fishing is to wear a hat and flatten all your barbs. Not to mention, loosing the time on the water. Like all predators, they have the advantage of adjusting to changing light conditions faster than the forage species. This gives them an edge and then natural selection has determined that they feed more heavily at these times.
First light is a bit more than an hour before sunrise.
Plan to be on the shore, two hours before sunrise for the best early morning time. If you can't fish the night or morning, you can minimize your handicap by optimizing locale before tackle. As I said above, stripers like to hide and feel safe. This means finding bottom structure likely to hold fish. More to come . .
