We had the best time ice fishing! We had seven in our group ranging in age from 5 to 60 and everyone caught fish and had an amazing time! They had nice warm tents to fish from, snacks, and the best guides to help us catch huge fish. We will be back again in the summer to fish with them and the winter to ice fish again!

From the first minute of our boys pulling up to the lake they were pulling in monster rainbow trout. The action didnt stop the entire time we were on the ice. We lost count of how many trout we caught. Not only was the fishing fantastic but every detail was thoroughly thought out. Hand warmers, hot chocolate, coffee, water and anything else you could need for a fun morning ice fishing was provided, especially the great conversation and amazing stories shared by our guides, Tom and Shawn. Our crew had a blast and our boys are still telling everyone about the amazing time they had. We wont

Great experience ice fishing. Shaun and his dad were awesome guides. We caught quite a few fish and had a great time! This was actually my second time using them. I used them for a boat rental over the summer and it was the nicest boat rental Ive ever had!

I had the best time with Tom and Rich. They were the most genuine and fun people. I would recommend to anyone who is looking to catch a lot of fish and have the best company. They took care of my family and made sure that our experience was worth every penny.
