My fly fishing leaked a bit into ice fishing. Orange is a common hotspot color for a lot of fly patterns and on a whim I though I try orange jigs for Fish Lake. Last year an orange tungsten jig was the hot jig but this year the fish seem to prefer a more horizontal presentation hence the ratfinkee. Was up there Monday and the orange ratfinkee was the jig of choice. 25 trout and another 8 perch. Couldn't match your sons fish but I got several around 15 inches. One splake did hit the tape at 16.
