Title: Salmon close to shore at Ambleside
Post by: KarateKick on September 13, 2014, 06:53:19 PM: I want to cast spoons from shore to catch salmon at Ambleside. Are there lots of salmon within casting distance this weekend? If not, when is a better time to try?

Not on weekends. They are only there Mondays, Tuesdays and every other Thursday.

x2 ..Is fishing not catching. The fun part is to explore and find out yourself. ;)

Exactly. Not to mention it's just that much more rewarding when you finally find the fish and your own honey hole. The more time you put in, the more experience you get, and the more experience you get means the closer you get to catching fish without relying so much on information from others.

If you get out on the water tomorrow OP, best of luck. :)

I'd be surprised if he got the 22lb spring from the shore instead of a boat.

Chinook salmon are caught by beach anglers from time to time. Not often, but not impossible either.

No need to be surprised - that was indeed from a boat. Didn't see anyone on the shore hook up.
