I went and bought some nymphs and 2lb flourocarbon this weekend. I have been having trouble getting some overpressured fish to bite. Its sightfishing so weight is not an issue. I looked at the ice flies and felt there were better patterns and better quality. You should look at the selection Cabelas has. wow

I tie my ice flies on small jigheads - 1/32 and smaller.
Some of them I tie on plain hooks with lead or copper
wire added for weight. I use pretty much the same
patterns as for summer. No dry flies though  :) .

Here is a fly I used this past week with pretty decent success...

It is basically an ant pattern tied in an olive color...

I used it as a dropper about 1' up from a wax worm tipped spoon...

It worked pretty good for bluegill...
