Ice fishing ???

[BrianID]

Thanks for the tips bigcat. I'll have to try the ping pong ball trick.


I have a quick question for everyone.

What is better?
Tying the small ice fly above the heavier jig or below the heavier jig.

I like to tie the lighter ice fly above the heavier jig because I think it helps prevent my line from getting tangled.
I have heard that tying the ice fly so it is below the heavier jig will increase the number of bites. This would make sense because I think most fish that come and look at a bigger jig and then swim away will sit a little below the heavier jig. If the smaller ice fly was above the heavier then these fish would have to go farther to bite it than if it were below the larger jig.
I'll probably try some experimenting this winter but if any of you have an opinion I would like to hear it.
