Caught a rainbow trout! - A wonderful exposure to ice fishing! The cabin was easily accessible, warm, clean with ample supplies. Our guide, Trevor, was "on point". Kind, accommodating & quick enough to hold a slippery fish trying to escape :) He also had alot of helpful hints. Great experience!

Unforgettable Ice Fishing Experience - Unforgettable Ice Fishing Experience! We had an incredible time on our ice fishing excursion with Trevor as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable—not just about fishing, but also about Alaska and the local wildlife, which made the experience even more interesting and educational. Trevor cooked up some delicious reindeer sausage for us, and later prepared the fish we caught, offering a variety of seasonings so we could flavor them to our liking. Everything tasted amazing! As a group of four, we caught over 70 fish—such a thrill! The weather was beautiful, and the fish house was warm and cozy with plenty of hot drinks and water to keep us comfortable throughout the day. This was such a unique and memorable adventure. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable Alaskan experience!

Lot of fun & fish - As we arrived, the vast expanse of Chena Lake was awesome! We were greeted immediately by our guide, Noah, who was friendly, helpful and made our adventure lots of fun. Inside our heated cabin there was plenty of space for all of us to enjoy fishing for the next four hours. Our fishing poles were in the water quickly after we got settled. Almost immediately the fish started biting. Everyone in our cabin caught at least one fish, most caught many more. We caught salmon and rainbow trout. Two children caught fish also. Besides fishing in the cabin we were given the opportunity to fish outside and many took the opportunity. Noah helped us bait the lines and unhook the fish, if you wanted assistance. We had reindeer hotdogs, which were excellent. A bit later Noah had cooked our fish and we enjoyed tasting salmon or trout. Rod’s Alaskan Guide Services should be on your list to experience ice-fishing while in the Fairbanks area. Thank you, Noah for making our experience terrific.

This is a must do - for all ages! - My 80-year old mom, sister and I had the time of our lives ice fishing with our guide, Trevor! Trevor is biologist who has lived in Alaska for many years. He was very kind, happy, and patient with us as first-timers. Trevor taught us so much about environmental stewardship from a hunter/fisherman standpoint. He shared many personal stories about his adventures living in Alaska which I enjoyed every bit as much as the fishing and drinking hot cocoa in his cozy hut!

fun, but I learned so much! SUPER. - Total total experience was wonderful. The HUTS were well located convenient to bathrooms very comfortable and just pure fun. Our day was warm enough that we went outside and Trevor auger holes for us to fish outside, but I surely enjoyed being able to really look at the fish well inside and I caught four fish two went back. Trevor was amazing, knowledgeable cautious with our health and safety. Great cook, but taught us so much about living in Alaska and caring for nature. It was I think the best experience of my trip thank you thank you well done, Trevor.

What a great experience! I learned so much. - We had such an amazing experience with Trevor. He is so knowledgeable about "All things Alaska" pertaining to wildlife and conservation. If you want a luxury ice fishing experience, this is IT. Heated cabin. Hot beverages. A freshly cooked fish dinner! All gear and bait included! I will be back with friends.

Fun experience - We went ice fishing on Chena Lake and had a great time. We enjoyed meeting the other people in our fishing hut and our guide, Kody, was very friendly and helpful. This was a very unique experience for someone who had never ice-fished before. And, my son caught a rainbow trout that Kody cooked up and we ate - the fresh catch was delicious!

Fun! I am good at fish for the first time. - We have a great experience with Noah! We have about 13 people in a wood cabin that is very warm. Fishing is not hard and very fun. I got 6 fish in 3 hours! Everyone got a well-cooked salmon in the end. There are a lot of bald eagles at that place as well. You may see them walk on the snow.
