Jason's knowledge of local conditions and winter patterns gives you an edge in finding active fish.

Plan Your Ice Fishing Day

The exact timing and specifics depend on current conditions and the day's plan. Jason provides guidance throughout the experience, helping you understand the environment and maximize your time on the water.
Dress in layers appropriate for winter mountain conditions. The shelter protects you from wind and precipitation, but the temperature and elements remain part of the experience. Bring warm clothing, hand and foot warmers, and be prepared for the cold. Jason will advise on what to bring and what's provided.
