Winter Wrap Up
We faced many challenges this past ice fishing season with warmer than usual temperatures, an arctic blast and late season snow-storms. However, we still provided safe and fun fishing trips for everyone that went out with us. We never made it out to fish or guide on...

This winter has definitely been a challenge with changing conditions and unsafe ice in many locations. Our commitment stays the same no matter what the ice conditions are and that is to ensure that you have a safe trip. Last year we had safe early ice. This year we...
