Going to head out in a couple of hours for Amber Lake, weather permitting. First fly will be a Blood Worm. I have very little patience for chironomids so if nothing happens after a while I'll switch to a Flashback Copper John. If that doesn't work I may start jigging a San Juan Worm. If all else fails, I'll start slow trolling a Wooly Bugger. I doubt if anything will be rising, but just in case I'm bringing a bunch of dries. i.e. Griffith's Gnats & Renegades.
Anyone with experience at Amber is welcome to pitch in with some ideas.

What Fly?
Where you go is less important than how you get there.

I've had good luck with bionic worms - with an orange bead. When I can't stand staring at a bobber, I'll use a bead head prince nymphs. Those are the two that I've done best with.

Re: What Fly?
If Amber is similar to Quincy Lake, don't forget a dragonfly nymph. I've been using a Drunken Dragon lately and having a good response on it.
Re: What Fly?
Good point Zen. I forgot about a time I sat in my pontoon just watching the damsel fly larvae all around me. I didn't have a good pattern at the time, and I didn't have much luck with an olive bugger.
