The red and chartreuse bugger has caught a lot of pan fish, bass, and trout, but it has usually been when I am fishing lakes for the warm water species. I always kind of thought the trout I caught with it were just opportunistically grabbing a moving object, or because there were perch minnows in the lake.
Now I think there is something about that Red/Char combination that attracts most fish anywhere, and I plan on using it more often as a searching pattern. I might even try it as a streamer in the rivers!!
Ice fishing is fun and I certainly enjoyed catching my first "ice fishing" fish, and hope to figure out how to catch many more!
