#14 ice fly with some hair or hackle

tough bite = small tungsten + plastic and I don't usually go with any meat on this rig either!

If they don't want to eat, then no bites. Hard to beat a tungsten jig and a spike or 2. Smaller the better when the bite is off.

The tiniest of them Hali Jigs and the Little Atom Skimpies plastic or one spike. 

If I was prepared for it, I would just fly tie one tentacle from a tube onto a tiny #14 Daichi trout hook.  That's where having fluorocarbon weighted line helps with the forever sink rate.

Downsize to micro jigs.2mm

[woodyeckes]

deadstick small vertical black jig with red plastic tapered tail sticking out horizontally on sensitive spring bobber rod....
if you're marking fish by your bait and think they're not biting a sensitive spring bobber will tell you otherwise....

[eyeflyer]

Downsize (this is normal for any slow bite) dropper rig, very limited jig action. If there is high pressure system over about 30.7 go deeper. I have found that a low or high are mediocre fishing............fal ling and stable barometer always better for fishing.

Panfish plastic’s chigger fry on a 2mm tungsten head.

I add a white plastic with wiggly's to my jig and tip it with a grub.  Last Sat was a tough bite to start until I added the plastic.
