Ice fishing flies definitely work.

The fly caught a lot of fish. One problem was that the fly sometimes caught on the edge of the hole when fighting a fish that took the jig. If I gave an inch or two of slack, the fish would sometimes pull the fly loose, but also would sometimes get loose itself. Seemed to lose about a third of them, but counting the times the fly didn't catch the hole edge, overall landed most.

Good plan!  I've done the same thing with a fly, but also used a tiny, wiggly soft plastic on a little light wire hook "drop-shotted" the same way.
