Walleye Ice Fishing Flies!

[hawkeye]

So I'm going to try and pull some Walleye throught the ice at Lesser Slave this weekend and am thinking about taking some bare jigheads and trying to tye something onto it that a walleye or whatever else might smack at. Anyone tried this before? If so, how'd it work?

 

Any thoughts welcome!

I've never fished them through the ice, but I have fished them on a full sink fly line stripping a big old leech pattern along the bottom...and done quite well....so I am sure that if you turn you're jig into a leech pattern it will work.

A bright color jighead can work for an egg sucking leech.

The Dr of Bull Trout tied some mean jig head flys maybe send him a PM.

i got one as a solstice christmas present from DBT. it would work very well.

I would imagine Bloom's catatonic leech would be an ideal candidate.

This is what I used last weekend. My marabou perch jig. Olive over white, with a little flash and some orange for fins.

One of you should try that beaded minnow I invented for the bead fly swap. Color it in baitfish colors that are suitable for your lake.
