  • Ice Fishing & Snowshoeing - After a short drive to a frozen lake we'll show you how to walk on snowshoes. With our fishing equipment we'll walk onto the ice of the lake where we'll fish through a hole in the ice. With some luck we catch a Lake Trout or Grayling and pull it up through the hole. Includes transfers, snowshoes, angling equipment, instruction on how to use snowshoes and on how to fish, blankets, snack and hot drinks.
