The Fly of February
Icefishing
Shrimp
Text, photos and

A puritan
flyfisherman can have odd trebble in his hands, when the rivers are closed
because they are totally ice covered. A possible medicin for this hand
trebbles is to go icefishing. If your philosophy allows only fishing with
flies, you still can do icefishing. Put the fly under a weight like
vertical jig with short tiny chain (1 inch) or a leader (about 2 inches).
For some years ago my friend Bude icefished only with this method and had
nice catches.
Shrimps
aare a delicacy on the menu of perches, and this fly imitates shrimps.
Perches can be so envious, that they even steal their food from neighbours,
even the vomiting disapear in other perches stomachs. The acids in stomach
change the color of shrims in orange, perhaps that is why orange Shrimp
fly is good. Other good colors are white, pink and dirty green and
brown.
Base
the shank to the middle of the bend. Tie the whiskers of fox wind hair.
Fasten a 2 mm strip of Thin Skin.
Burn
the eyes of monoline. Put the line in
tweezers and burn to the both ends a ball. If needed color them black with
water proof marker.
Dub
the front body of marabou. Turn the Thin Skin as forhead shield.
Fasten
a golden, thin wire in back of the front body.
Dub the back body with marabou. Fasten the backshield. Turn the wire on
its place.
