If you fish Round Valley at night, you probably want to park in the angler's parking lot by the boat ramp and not the main parking lot.

NJF used to have a regular poster who did most of his fishing at night from the shoreline of reservoirs, but he hasn't posted in a while.

I don't like fishing at night. Eighteen years ago I had a scary run-in with a bear at the Delaware Water Gap that was pulling garbage out of a trash can and got aggressive with me when when I tried to walk past it. I've also encountered some weirdos at the boat ramp at night where I was in more fear for my safety than encountering the bear!

Thanks for the info! Honestly night fishing definitely isn't my first choice, but with the hours I work I almost never have time to fish during the day. I'll have to carry my trusty knife!
