About
Ice fishing is a unique sport that is only offered in the winter months when the ice is thick enough to carry the weight of the people on it and the equipment needed to keep you warm and dry. This trip is designed for those who have little to no experience fishing and/ or ice fishing.
What's Included
An adventure guide will be with you every step from welcoming you to the frozen lake to cleaning your fish as you catch them. All ice fishing equipment is provided, heated tent, chairs, snacks, hot drinks, fishing poles, and bait. Also, a catered lunch is included so you can fish the day away as you relax in the heated tent.
Any fish you catch, up to the limits set by the Alaska Fish and Game, are yours to keep and eat when you get home. Our adventure guide will clean the fish on-site for you.
