Ice Jigs?

Well, I finally bought a house and moved in. I set up my bench and after a couple years of not tying, winter is here. I was wondering if anyone ties ice jigs? I'm gonna try a couple patterns I threw together...

Tie the eyes before the bend and make the head more like a clouser?

I surely do. I Tie them on the smallest leadhead jigs I can get. Nothing fancy just sparkly little jigs that ill tip with a mealie. I'm I aloud to say that on a fly tying site?

you can also run a bead thru some mono.melt the end so it wont slip offf. tie the mono on a 90 degree hook so the bead is head first look up a fly called the balanced leech rich

I picked up some 1/124 oz brass jigheads (#10 hook), and I've been tying some upside down Prince nymphs, Copper Johns, and even a Wooly Bugger. Haven't had a chance to try them out yet, but with a maggot or a chunk of smelt they ought to work.

Depends on the fish you are planning to catch. For grayling in the rivers under ice I use the same nymphs as in summer, but 1-2 sizes smaller. A nymph # 14-16 is a dropper tied with a short piece of 4 p test mono to a loop located 4"-5" above a heavy main jig of the rig.
