Explore the beauty of Alaska! Experience the true nature of Fairbanks and learn the fishing skills with a fishing expert on the Ice fishing tour. From November to March of each year in Alaska, the rivers and lakes freeze, and ice fishing is generally possible when the thickness of the ice reaches 8 to 10 centimeters. Ice fishing is the winter favorite for Alaskans. You’ll learn the fishing skill with a fishing expert. After catching the fish, the guide will also process a grilled fish for each guest on site, allowing you to taste the freshest fish, and then release the extra fish back to the snow lake. NOTE: Adults over 16 years old need to purchase a separate fishing license. You can either buy it online by youself or tour guide will guide you to purchase it at the local designated outdoor store.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the ice fishing tour in Fairbanks?

A: Yes, participants need to be at least 16 years old to join the tour. Anyone over 16 is required to have a fishing license, which you can purchase online or from a local store with help from the guide. It's a great experience for anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to learn something new!

Q: What should we wear for the ice fishing tour in Fairbanks?

A: Dress in layers! It can get pretty cold out on the ice. I suggest wearing thermal underwear, a warm insulated jacket, waterproof pants, and good boots. Don’t forget gloves and a hat to keep your extremities warm. You’ll also want sunglasses to protect your eyes from the reflection on the ice.

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of our ice fishing tour?

A: The tour typically goes on unless the weather is extremely unsafe. If there’s a major storm, the guide will reach out to you to reschedule. It’s good to keep an eye on the forecast, but often, some weather just adds to the experience. Always best to check with the provider just in case!

Thinking of gifting the ice fishing tour in Fairbanks - any tips?

Hey everyone! I'm considering giving my dad the ice fishing tour in Fairbanks for his birthday. I think he would love to learn from an expert and actually catch some fish! Any tips on what to expect? Also, is it really worth the price? I know he needs a license, so just making sure I cover everything.

Just went ice fishing in Fairbanks - amazing experience!

I just got back from the ice fishing tour in Fairbanks, and it was unreal! The guide was so knowledgeable and patient, and I even caught a nice-sized pike. The grilled fish we had on site was one of the best meals I've ever had. Seriously, if you're thinking about this as a gift, do it!
