Ice Flies for Panfish -- The "Slab Spike" & "Gill Shrimp"
(1/1)
Tanglemeister:
More ice fly possibilities:
I came across recipes for another another pair of ice flies that seemed like they should entice fish: the "Slab Spike" and "Gill Shrimp." You find those recipes and tying instructions here: http://3brothersflies.com/2013/01/17/tying-ice-flies-for-winter-panfish/
I've tied and tried the Slab Spike on a Danielson Micro Ball Jig Head 1/64 oz. hook, which is about the right size. It's an easy & quick tie but I have yet to get any takes on it. (Truth be told, I only tried it a couple of times last winter. I'll report back if it starts working better this winter.)
The Gill Shrimp looks tasty, and will land hook up on the bottom. I need to whip up a few of these in some lighter colors and see if they won't entice a bite with some bottom jigging.
Anyone have any luck with these patterns or others?

Very interesting. I have yet to get the time to get into tying. Most of the pan fish stuff I use is tungsten's with either a plastic body or just bait tipped. I imagine one day when all the kids are gone and I have more free time this may be something I get into. Thanks for sharing the links on the tying
