Ice flies, Ice flies, and more Ice flies!

 I live in Las Vegas but I do ice fish in Idaho.  Most people use normal ice jigs but of course I can not be like normal people. I tied up a ton of my ice flies in all different colors and variations. These are all fish catchers and to attract the big trout under the ice you need bright colors and a lot of action.  These 5 flies below have worked the best for me and for my friends. If you guys ice fish gives these bad boys a try! All of these I used bright orange dumb bell eyes. You can use anything you want but these were the only one I had.

  7. com provides information on Fishing, Fly Fishing, Fishing Boats, Deep Sea Fishing
    and. Depending on how you're going to want to do your fishing you'll want to
    find a boat to rent for Michigan fishing. Yet sometimes a net is better to use because it usually doesn't harm the fish and will most likely be easier for you to prepare the fish for later.
