Hey Glen,thanks for your input.We should be ice fishing here in central Michigan in about a week.I am working on some ic flies,trying to figure out what color hair to use.Will try red,and maybe some green.I have some red sparkle thread that was a killer on my ants that I made for spring.I never caught so many 9+ inch gills in April.I just let it sink,with a casting bubble 3 feet up the line.Good luck ice fishing,tight lines!!!
