Great time had by all!
O3913FXjeremyd, April 2026
I am not a fisherman. My father was, and my father-in-law. My 14 year old son is and my 11 year old daughter is happy to take fish off hooks and tear worms apart with her bare hands. They had an absolute blast ice fishing for 5 hours, inside and outside of the nice cozy cabin right out on the frozen lake. My daughter caught the most (35+), and my son caught the two biggest fish of the day. There were plenty for the two other families that booked the same slot. The guide cooked delicious reindeer sausages, and then fried up the fish we caught (king salmon, silver salmon, and rainbow trout) which was incredible. The guide (Noah) was on top of it the whole time, taking care of the kids ( and adults) who didn't know how to fish and making sure everyone was having a good time. We'll definitely be doing it again next time we come to Alaska!

My Ice Fishing Adventure
Travel11761575861, April 2026
I have never been ice fishing before and wasn't a big fan of fishing. However, Trevor made my first ice fishing experience fantastic. I caught fish, ate a reindeer sausage and enjoyed some of the fish we caught. Trevor is a wonderful cook!!

Amazing and fun experience
823azariahm, April 2026
This wasn’t my first time fishing, but it was my first time ice fishing, and Trevor made it an incredible experience. After a quick introduction and demonstration, even beginners will feel like pros in no time. Trevor is extremely knowledgeable and, on top of that, an amazing cook. I don’t eat pork so I didn’t try the reindeer sausages myself, but I heard great reviews . When it was time to eat the fish, he let’s you choose our own seasoning—I went with the orange pepper, and it was absolutely delicious. The four hours flew by because I was having so much fun. I’d definitely love to come back and try the night ice fishing experience next time!

Fishing with a bald eagle
Y8397OXrebeccar, April 2026
Trevor was an awesome guide! We caught 103 fish as a group of 4 not including the fish that Trevor caught. We had a bald eagle land just feet away from us that watched us fish. She was absolutely beautiful!! 10/10 recommend!

Unforgettable experience for my family
Eunji_S, April 2026
Way better than expected. Trevor was super friendly and patient. He made our experience so unforgettable. Initially I thought the 4hours??? That is so long!! At the end, I realized I did not want to stop. I wanted to do more. We caught close to 40 fish. My entire family loved it.
