Tied up a bunch Jigs for ice fishing.
Mark Knapp replied to Mark Knapp's topic in Fly Fishing Gear & Techniques
When I left Central Minn. 40 years ago we were having to wait till Dec. to start ice fishing. Now I wonder if they get to ice fish at all. -

I'm putting the house out this w/end. I'm excited about it. Thanks for the kudos. We like burbot. We haven't kept any in a long time though. We try to keep the slipping and falling to a minimum. They hurt and I don't want to bust a hip. -
Turkey Fly challenge. -VOTE for one.

You are quite a gentleman Mr. Deck. We'll make it a run next year. -
So far, they are not a huge problem up here. 🤞

Yep, they tie up fast and they are productive. Merry Christmas all. -

Thanks Poop, This winter, it's the regular four; rainbow, char, LL silvers and LL kings, plus a new species. A breeding population of burbot (some locales call them eelpout or lawyer) made it into the lake a few years ago and they are doing great. I caught about 12 out of the lake last year. The biggest was 37 inches long. Lots of fun. We are allowed to fish 2 poles, ice fishing, so I usually fish one tipped with home cured shrimp or salmon egg and 1 jigged with nothing. Unsurprisingly, the one that is not tipped with bait catches most of the big fish while the baited one catches most of the other fish. -

Thanks, those are 1/8 oz. They were pre-painted. I have others in all white and silver head and other weights. Some I paint and some I don't. -
18 Jigs for ice fishing this season. I tied them in the most effective style and color for our lakes. It's been very productive.

Well, thanks for the kudos. Well need to wait for a report on the movement. All my water is frozen and I won't know till I try them in April. I can bend them into a "U" by hand right now. Water and whipping them around will help when I use them. I'll flex them a bit when I use them too. We'll see....

You could put it in "Classified"

OK, I got started on a Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer fly for Christmas. I'm looking for volunteers to help finish it. 😁

For some reason, I always thought he'd be rough on turkeys. Who knew?
