Yes, fish do need dark. They depend on the cycle of light and dark to determine spawning and migration times. During the longer days of summer and the shorter days of winter they spend time eating. As the days lengthen for spring, some fish like northern pike, muskellunge, and steelhead travel to spawning grounds. For other fish like brook trout and smallmouth bass the shortening days at the end of summer signal spawning time.
Another reason for dark is that even fish need rest. Food is easy to find while it's light out, so they are fairly active in the day. As dark falls, feeding activity slows. Of course, a full moon on a clear summer night, doesn't slow the walleyes down; ask any determined fisherman.
