Its not a big secret that the trout in the eat woolly buggers all year round in there gprime.

I will be chucking a bugger pattern with a chroni behind it as soon as the ice is off.

a friend who lives in coalhurst told me they were biting on power leaches for him the 2 times he fished it thru the ice.

P.s. i was there today and walked out about 50 feet and felt safe....i walked out were the lake edge heads north in front of the big pine .

its not very common i agree but my Dad used to use a leach pattern on his fly rod for ice fishing.
He would prop up his rod on a bucket and tie a rag to the tip with the fly suspended off the bottom. The rag would flap and catch the wind jigging the fly, they surprizingly hook themselfs. He made a shrimp juice that he would dip the fly in periodically.

I fly fish on the Crow all winter , Fly Rod just fine..

i use my fly rod on the bow in river too but using that big fly rod on a little hole with a pivot would break it...cold just makes it more dense so it would break that much easler i broke more fly rods in winter then i doin summer if at all.
