Ok had a horrible day of fly fishing @ amber!!! I was really looking forward to this lake due to the selective gear and new state park rule. I figure not a lot Of people would fish there so it has to have a lot of fish in that lake. Plus willams is right across so they rather go there. Will......started fishing @ 3:30 on the tube and got off at 8:30. Only 3 bites??? I tried every fly in my box??? Streamers, nymphs, dry flys, scuds, CHIRONOMIDS!!!!! I worked it from 15 ft to 30ft.... I fished around the whole damn lake and still didn't even land a fish. I was across the boat ramp and that's where I managed to get a couple of bites. I had a nice fish on but lost it due to barbless hook rule and fishing in that depth makes it really hard to set the hook.
Im just wondering if id missed out the primetime on this lake or am I doing something wrong? Seems to be very quiet and peaceful. Looks to have some big fish in there? Anyways I only saw 2 other fishermans, one was boat trolling and the other fly fishing on a pontoon. I would like to give amber lake another shoot but really trying to get some better info and help. Anything would be appreciate. Thanks guys and Good luck fishing!!
