    Default Ice Dropper Fly


    A short video how to tie a simple Ice Dropper I use on a perch rig through the ice.

    This picture of the rigs looked perfect in my edit but once uploaded to youtube are cropped tight. Here is a few of the rigs from the videoName:  IMGP6245.jpg

    In my neck of the woods I like to add a Gulp 1" leach on these lil guys and go right down into the brush pile/log jam hunting. The leach is enough weight to slowly sink the fly. Any one of those fly's are good but fire tiger would be a go to for me. In the bush I would go single fly, in open I like the twin rigs you have pictured here but with a minnow.Name:  Resized952020111295080335959378.jpg

    Nice video!

    The fly and rigging kind of reminds me of the No Name Lure. They are really tiny hooks and they say for Blakeys Bass, but I don't think that is what I would use them for, lol! The hook with the lead is the only weight and is 1/40 Oz. The hooks look like a #12 really light wire.

    We used to use those when we were a kid skip many years ago we used to tip them off with cut bait.

    I had never seen or heard of them before here on CDC. Got the chance to get some of the originals from from the Fujita family. I tied a few of them, but have a good many that I still need to do something with.
