This was a very fun activity for my family. Ryan was a great host, made us laugh, and we caught a lot of fish!!! The tent and heater made the environment warm and comfy while Ryan kept us busy with fishing and laughter!

Ryan was amazing! Super knowledgeable and friendly. Had a blast! This was my first ice fishing trip and I could not have had a better time. Even got to use the ice auger, and caught lots of rainbow trout! Thanks for making it such a fun experience :)

    Absolute must do when visiting Alaska! Experienced and inexperienced fishers alike! Ryan is second to none! Made wonderful lifelong memories with my dear friend, learned new information. Was greeted by an eagle and bid farewell by a moose - truly an experience that can’t be beat. Ryan is an amazing outdoorsman and all around salt of the earth kinda guy. Relaxed and accommodating to whatever vibe suits the group, great sense of humor - overall, the guy just makes sure folks have a wonderful day. Truly cannot recommend this experience enough!

    Ryan was very punctual...

    Jeffrey_R, Apr 2026
    Ryan was very punctual and provided a great experience! He has a lot of knowledge on local fish and wildlife, we were able to trade stories back and forth all day. The tent he provides is heated and I was very comfortable for the duration of the tour. I was able to catch 4 good sized rainbow trout using his equipment. I also enjoyed getting to know him some and was very content with my excursion. For the price I paid, it was well worth the money. Thanks Ryan!

    Great Experience

    Kimberly_Y, Mar 2026
    A fun way to experience one of Alaska's beloved past times without having to travel with all the gear needed! Ryan was extremely knowledgable and we had a great morning fishing, learning about Anchorage's hotspots for food and fun

    It was my first time...

    Jessica_S, Mar 2026
    It was my first time fishing, and I had a blast! Ryan is really knowledgeable and accommodating with the group's needs. He was also super prepared and well equipped to ensure the whole group was able to catch fish. I was able to catch five small rainbow trout, which was super exciting! I especially liked the sonar to detect at what depth the fish were in the lake. I couldn't recommend it enough! It was a great experience!

    It was cozy, relaxing, Ryan is absolutely amazing. Ryan was very polite, knowledgeable about fishes how to catch them. My husband and I had a blast. My husband stated he really enjoyed this because I was so excited and caught many fishes. Ryan continued to make sure the fish kept bitting. He did not want us not to leave without having a great time at fishing. We will most definitely be back to fishing, snow mobile, and whatever else he guides. He’s just that kind of person you want to hang out with.

    Great time ice fishing

    sara_M, Nov 2025
    We had a great time out on the ice with Ryan. It was neat to see the whole ice fishing process from set up (only took about 15 minutes to pop the tent up, put in the heater etc) to getting to drill the holes. We caught lots of fish in the comfort of the heated tent. Ryan was full of fun Alaskan and fish facts. The eagles watching us from the trees was an added bonus. Would definitely do again !

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Sara, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience! We have a great time ice fishing, and are always excited to share it with our guests! We look forward to seeing you next time!

    Honestly, Ryan was...

    MIA_D, Nov 2025
    Honestly, Ryan was amazing! Incredibly knowledgeable, hard working, and knew right where the fish were! He really made our morning what it was. Loved his knowledge of ice fishing, but also the area in general. He was incredibly easy to talk to, and he really took care of us. We didn’t lift a finger all day unless it was to reel in the fish! He was constantly on his feet baiting our hooks and trying out different things to make sure we caught all the fish we wanted. We were warm as could be in the tent, the heater worked perfectly. He picked us up at our hotel and was right on time, and dropped us back off when we were done. We will definitely call Ryan if we find ourselves back in Alaska!

    We’re just some fishing...

    Stephanie_B, Nov 2025
    We’re just some fishing Floridians who came on our honeymoon in search of winter things to do. So this was perfect. Ryan was awesome and very informative with a great sense of humor. We had a lot of fun and everyone caught fish ! Definitely something to try while in Alaska.

    Such fun ice fishing!

    Vicky_L, Nov 2024
    Ryan is an incredibly kind and patient guide who walks you through all the details of ice fishing, step by step. He shows you how to dig the hole, use the monitor to estimate the number of fish below, handle the fishing rod, and identify the perfect moment to lift it and reel in the line. These basic processes are explained in a way that’s beginner-friendly, making it a great experience for anyone new to fishing. Ice fishing is so much fun, and I learned a lot about fishing during this adventure. It was truly a fantastic experience during my winter trip to Alaska!
