Anchorage Ice Fishing Adventure

This guided ice fishing experience starts with hotel pickup in Anchorage, then transports you to a nearby frozen lake in the Anchorage or Matanuska area. Once you arrive, your guide helps you set up on the ice in a heated, insulated fishing tent, drills holes with an auger, and shows you how to use sonar/flashers and bait to pursue fish species such as rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, and Dolly Varden.

The guide stays hands-on, teaching casting, detecting strikes, and safe ice behavior. You’ll stay warm in the shelter and have the chance to catch fish while enjoying winter scenery. The tour usually lasts about 4 hours.
