I have used some flies before. Killed it with a bloodworm up at lucille a few years back when I lived in Whistler. Bait in my experience far out produces flies, but that is my experience. Ice fishing is a fun social way of fishing in the winter but for the novelty wears off and I end up wishing there was a hatch or something to try and figure out.

One thing about ice fishing in the interior is that the best fishing is end of December and early January. Nother thing is the best fishing for trout is first light and last light. Nother thing is find a lake with Kokanee if you want to fish all day.

as a kid i have some fond memories ice fishing with my dad near princeton. we used dew worms, shrimp, maggots, and meal worms.  this past year i took my girlfriend and we had the best success right as the sun went down. the best bait was the deli shrimp... it went so well we ran out of bait.

FIve years ago, I went ice fishing at Deka Lake with some real hard core ice fisherman.  They had snowmobiles, a sled and a gas powered ice auger.  Stayed in a cabin playing cards all night.  Woke up and had a big greasy breakfast.  As we got ready to leave I pulled out a thermos to take some coffee with us.  The other guys just laughed and told me to leave the thermos in the cabin.  I turns out their way to stay warm was a cooler full of hard liquor and beer.  Spent the whole day passing around bottles of Schnapps and whiskey and washing it all down with beer while staring at a two foot rod sittiting in a holder (Powerbait) and peeing into a milk jug (not allowed to pee on the frozen lake). I consumed more alcohol that weekend than in the last 10 years combined.  Only caught one trout the whole weekend.  They keep inviting me to go every year but I haven't able to go partly because of schedule and partly because I don't think my body can take all that alcohol abuse.
