[black][size 3]This time of year, if you want to fish still water, I think that you are going to put the fly rod up for the year.[/size][/black]

[size 3]TubeDude has posted some pictures of weighted or lead head jigs that he has tied for use on the ice. The flies look like they would be productive, and pretty much use the same materials as regular flies.[/size]

[size 3]The choice is either to fish the rivers, or change to heavy flies that will get to the bottom. [/size]

[size 3]River fishing in the winter can be very productive. the water flow is down, and the fish tend to hang in the deeper holes. Just probe the bottom with nymphs. If you have them in your area, whitefish provide great sport on a fly rod.[/size]
