Title: Ambleside April 23rd
Post by: joshuag232 on April 23, 2006, 11:41:53 AM

Woke up early at 7:30 today and  went to ambleside for 1.5hours. Didn't bring the crab trap. Caught 4 small sole and one larger one about 6 inches which I released. All caught on shrimp. Also caught 2 small whitespotted greenling and a puny cabezon, also released. I was fishing in the center and i hooked a giant sole that was at least 2 or 3 pounds. I was pulling it out of the water and the hook came out! >:( :'(One guy caught 5 flounder that were all around 8". Even though I didn't catch anything big enough to eat it was still a beautiful day to be out. :)

Not generally for big fish although you can occasionally catch the odd coho during summer months. Mostly soles, bullheads and shiners.
