John tried to look around ans see if I had any but only made then few up for you I guess. I wanted to see if it was a jig head or bead head. By looking at it I'd say a bead head which will give you a much slower sink rate for them finicky bites. There are times that slow sink rate are important. This one will cover a slow sink rate indeed.

Well the slow fall on these is doing the trick .Not sure fishing them under a float with shot spaced apart  between the float and the colorful ice fly is the best way to fish these but I'm casting them on an ultra light setup . They work .Man your ties are durable , lots of fish coming on them .

John when I seen it it look familiar but wasn't sure so many things look alike. I had to go back in the archives to make sure. Them were some ice flies I sent you in January hope they worked out for you.

It's working fine on Gills and Pumpkinseeds ,  floated ,tipped with a piece of worm. I just have to find better spots to fish it .My lake so far is only giving up dink sized fish .
