Tying flies
« on: Jul 28, 2006, 10:10 AM »
Does anyone here tie flies for ice fishing?  Last year I had great success on perch and bluegill with just some simple dubbing/pheasant flies, or various nymph or scud patterns under a St. Croix UL springbobber rod.  Even caught a sucker on a fly, that was a first!

If you do tie flies for ice fishing, what are some of your favorite patterns?

Although I have a huge collection of fly tying supplies, I really do not tie any that are intended soley for ice-fishing. Last year I started playing around with some beadhead patterns with pretty good luck. Hares ears, princes and such.
80% of Americans are unhappy with the direction our once great Country is heading. Yet 80% of Americans insist on buying blue jeans that were made in China, coffee filters that were made in Taiwan and anything else that was made anywhere but here........wonder if there might be a connection?
