Overview
This unique Alaskan experience is the only one of its kind offered in the Anchorage area. Get out and enjoy the beauty of Alaska! On a clear day we'll see as many as four mountain ranges in Southcentral Alaska, We'll spend our time on a small frozen lake in the Anchorage area.
Using the latest electric ice auger, guests can help drill through anywhere between 6 inches to 3 feet thick ice. At times we'll see fish swimming below, either while looking through an 8-inch hole in the ice, or using technology to watch fish move below on sonar images on a depth finder.
At times we may fish with jigs or spoons, at other times, hooks, bait and a bobber. We'll often see moose in the woods around town or at the edge of the lake. Bald eagles often watch from the trees nearby, looking for a free meal.
Relax and enjoy the fishing, we'll take care of all the messy work and heavy lifting - except perhaps lifting the heaviest fish of the day from the water!

Anchorage
On this half-day guided ice fishing trip, we'll pick your party up at your hotel in the Anchorage area and take you to one of several great fishing spots nearby. On relatively warm, sunny days, we'll often fish "outside". When it's colder, or not as hospitable out, we'll use an insulated ice fishing tent and gas heater to keep warm and dry. We'll provide all the fishing gear you'll need to catch a variety of freshwater fish. You can expect to catch rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, arctic char and dolly varden in the range of 12" to 24" in length. We will give you hands on instruction on how to ice fish. Whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned pro, we will get you on fish. We'll be on the ice for between 3 and a half and 4 hours, and return your group to the pickup location when we're done.
