We had a fantastic day ice fishing with Cody. From the very beginning, his communication was clear, prompt, and easy. He was incredibly attentive throughout the trip and put us in a great spot where we caught plenty of crappie. I’d highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a stress free, enjoyable day out on the ice.

Ice Fishing: Cody did great! We drove up to Clear Lake from NW Missouri. It was -7* w/-33* wind chill, and we stayed warm inside the flip over shelter. All equipment provided, all we had to do was show up. He continually worked out in the cold to find where the fish were and move us on top of them. It was our first time ice fishing and it was a cool experience! We will do it again soon!

I booked a guided ice fishing adventure. Not only was it extremely easy to navigate the website, the communication was excellent. They were extremely flexible with corresponding schedules. Once we arrived to the lake, we were greeted with kind, welcoming faces. Cody had everything set up before we arrived and was quick to get us in the preheated hut and set up. Cody and Dar were patient, kind and helpful with teaching us some basics, while throwing in some tips and tricks to get the most out of our trip. They were not overly hovering and just within ears reach if we had questions. They checked in with us often. This was a super easy trip to book and an awesome experience all around. If you’ve ever thought about booking a guided trip, I would definitely recommend Wonderlich!!

Cody was great. Everyone had a great time and are asking when they can go again. Thank you Cody for making Kyler's birthday gift a memorable one.
