Ice fly tying?

[TubeDude]

If you are trying to "match the hatch" then almost any small critter in brown, green or black will work.  Add a bit of meal worm or wax worm for scent.  If there are small baitfish in the area, then a small jigging spoon will usually get some attention.  

I have been tying flies for several decades and that carried over into my making a lot of different "bitty bites" for ice fishing.  I haven't found much that won't work...at one time or another.  But my findings are that glow and/or bright colors often work best because the fish can see them better in the low light conditions under ice and snow.  Here are a few different things I have used successfully over the years.  The little "bait bugs"...made with either chenille bodies or "PBJs" (painted body jigs) have always worked well.
