Ice Fishing Flies
with good Action

Ice fishing flies should be easy to tie. Many flies are fitted with a brass head so they can sink faster. Choose types that have a lot of motion. Popular colors are white and yellow.
Use a light and flexible rod for panfish and perch. A short and firm rod is better for walleye.

Number 10-14 hooks are recommended for panfish. Number 3 hooks with a short shank are great for walleye.

For panfish, a light monofilament line with a 2-4 pound test is good. Quality guides, a quality rod blank and a good reel will make a good combo.

Ice fishing can be enjoyable, especially with friends and family. Always carry your fishing license and proper fishing gear. Some of the equipment you will need:
1. Ice sled makes it easy to haul your equipment.
2. Ice Auger is the tool for drilling your fishing hole. Manual and power units are available. The hole should not be more than 12 inches in diameter.
3. Skimmer is a handy tool to scoop out slush from your hole.
4. Bucket that can hold your live bait.
5. Chair you can sit on while fishing.
6. Ice shanties will protect you from wind and snow.
