Ice Fishing

Guided ice fishing for walleye, perch, pike, and crappie.

View 35 guidesGet listed free

Ice fishing in the upper Midwest and the inland Northeast supports a guided industry that runs from late December through early March on lakes that freeze hard enough to support permanent shanty villages. Lake of the Woods on the Minnesota–Manitoba border, Mille Lacs in central Minnesota, the Bay of Green Bay in Wisconsin, Devils Lake in North Dakota, Lake Winnebago, and Lake Erie's western basin support the largest guided ice fisheries in the country. Targets include walleye, perch, crappie, northern pike, lake trout, and on certain lakes burbot. A guided ice fishing trip provides the heated wheelhouse or pop-up ice shelter, the auger and electronics, the live bait and rigged jigging rods, and the ATV or snowmobile transportation necessary to reach productive water. Guided sleeper-house trips on Lake of the Woods and Mille Lacs offer overnight stays in permanent shanties on the ice, among the most distinctive guided fishing experiences in North America. Reliable ice safety protocols are essential, and Coast Guard / DNR coordination during emergencies is part of the guide's standard operating procedure.
