Tying you own ice flies?
« on: Jan 13, 2004, 11:47 PM »
Any body tie their own ice flies out there and if so what are some good patterns and materials you use for tying. I tie my own for fly fishing so thought it would be cool to tie some ice flies.

Get some Danville's acetate floss comes in many colors and makes tying ice flys very easy! And they work great! Balloon flys work well and are easy too!
There is nothing in the world I'd rather do than ice fish!
