We used to fish for big browns at night, on the southfork of the Snake in eastern Idaho. We went during and close to a full moon phase. That was for our benefit, though, since we were sometimes wading 
We hooked and landed several big fish, but I don't know that it was worth staying up for. I think I noticed that the browns kind of shut off their day feeding around full moon, and that is what prompted me to go out at night, but I don't know that there is any credence to that the theory that they are feeding at night during a full moon phase. I think they may just slow down all together for a couple of days around the full moon.
