Double Trouble

A double-up approach was the key to success for me during my last day of ice-fishing in South Dakota. More often than not, I wouldn't seeing anything when I first started fishing a hole, and if I used a silent approach, nothing would show up. I could call in the fish by working a Lindy Rattl'n Flyer Spoon pretty aggressively, but most fish weren't quite aggressive enough to take the spoon. Eventually I figured out that if I started with the spoon and could get some fish in the area, I could then pull it up and drop a Fuzz-E Grub in the same hole and usually catch the fish. Neither on it's own was quite doing the job. Together, they worked wonderfully.
