A cool night time experience. - Ice fishing had always been a bucket list item that I had wanted to do. In researching the holiday for Alaska, Rods guide service always came up with good reviews. We booked in online and paid and got the confirmation with the location / GPS coordinates. You obliviously need to get there at the designated time and being in the dark, we were a little bit worried getting there. The drive from Fairbanks was about 50 minutes on the Motorway and some snowier "B" roads. We followed the car GPS to Chena lake reserve and found the carpark to the lake. The directions on the booking were excellent and we got there easily. We were met on the lake with our cabin guide. He showed us into our cabin on the frozen, snow covered lake. It seated 16, 4 banks of 4 seats. There was a log fire in the middle. The holes for the fishing were pre drilled and covered. They had all the fishing gear on the walls. We had 6 people in our cabin. We started fishing and it was pretty good to start with and then after 30 minutes the fish stopped biting. We only got 1 fish in our cabin and only 3 in the other cabin. We had a dog sled tour stop into our cabin to warm up. The cabin guide made hot drinks for us when we wanted as well. I was going outside every now and again to check for the northern lights. They eventually came out, but not in there full radiance which was a little disappointing. But that's nature. We still got to see the lights again which was good. We really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it.

Perfect combination - Tyson made ice fishing so fun and was so super helpful, he was extremely accommodating and toke pictures and videos of the lights and share them with us😊 Thanks for a great experience!

Tim the guide! - Thank you for the fun fishing trip, Tim! Your guiding was fun! 5 in our party! Fish were caught and your knowledge was great!

Best way to see the Aurora, stay warm and entertained while waiting - Best way to see the Aurora and stay busy while patiently waiting, you will stay warm, have fun fishing, and stay well fed. They had Reindeer sausage on a bun, hot cocoa, bottled water, and your own salmon cooked right there. They will track the aurora for you and tell you when to come out so you don't miss it. One of the Iditarod sleds came to visit us and we were able to pet the dogs, take pictures and see them in action. And very short drive from Fairbanks.

The ice fishing was a... - The ice fishing was a very cool experience, and the fish tasted great! The Northern Lights were amazing. Very cool spot! Highly recommend for families with kids of any age.

We enjoyed all parts of... - We enjoyed all parts of this outing. The instructions on how to find the location were spot on. The fish weren't very active the night we came, but we caught 5 fish among the 3 of us. Our guide was very nice and kept things lively. The fish he cooked was very good. The lights did come out which made it all the more successful. My only wish would have been if the reindeer sausages would have come out earlier. But that's on us. We didn't eat before going.

Unforgettable experience and unparalleled tour guide,Cody. - This is really a perfect experience~ It was very cold at night, but Cody kept everything warm. Except for our family, all the partners caught a lot of fish 🤣🤣🤣 . Cody always encouraged us, and occasionally we could hear him singing nice songs, which made us enjoy the fishing process~ The comfortable room, the fireplace, the delicious hotdogs, the coffee and hot cocoa offering at any time, and the enthusiastic, considerate, detailed explanations and thoughtful care of Cody made this trip unforgettable and unique!

Ice fishing at night - Tim was a great fishing guide preparing our lines with bait, giving us suggestions, keeping bait on our line and answering questions about the Aurora and what brought him to Fairbanks. He prepared cooked reindeer sausage in a bun and later cooked the fish that we caught. It was a good experience.

Chillin with the fish while chasing the Aurora! - Super fun experience ice fishing and chasing the Aurora! Cody was the perfect guide! He made our experience fun and had a great way of uniting and connecting with all guests! He even seemed to read my daughter’s mind when she wanted hot chocolate!🤣 My kids loved CATCHING fish while ICE fishing in ALASKA! So cool to chill with a musher who stopped by on their guided tour and visit with the dogs! Rod’s works with such friendly people! Highly recommend this experience! Especially if your guide is Cody! He had all the time in the world for us and just made our experience so complete and memorable.

Amazing Ice Fishing!! - We did the Aurora Borealis viewing and ice fishing. Unfortunately the sky was too overcast to see the Northern Lights, but we had a wonderful time fishing! Cody made the experience amazing! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the everything Alaska. Thanks Cody!
