I’ve done ice fishing at Strawberry. The fish was not cooperating much. I must have not chosen the right lure + jig. I used wax worm. It was very slow. Only caught one rainbow. I am sure there was fish beneath the ice. What lure + jig should I use instead?

We use nuclear ants, ratfinkees/ratsos/shrimpos, ice flies, jigs with tube bodies, paddle bugs, etc. We tip 'em all with wax worms or meal worms.

Sometimes it’s the depth, also…ya wanna hang that yummy snack right in front of the fish 😆
