Additional Information

We will be ice fishing for stocked Rainbow Trout on one of the local lakes right here in Whistler. The fish range between 8 & 14 inches in length but if you are lucky there is the ‘chance’ of hooking an 18 + inch trout. This is a great experience for those new to ice fishing. I will set up a large tent-like ice fishing shelter which will have a heater…

Always a great experience! - My partner and I had the yet another memorable ice fishing experience thanks to Matthew and Jared! We booked this outing to celebrate my partner's birthday - since we had such a great time 3 years ago. Even though the weather this year was warmer, we were lucky there was ice and they made sure we had a safe and fun outing. From the moment they picked us up at the hotel, Matthew and Jared had the greatest enthusiasm to make sure we would caught a fish. Not only did we both catch something, they had great banter the whole time. Thank you again!

Quality/Experienced guide. - The ice was to thin for us to ice fish, so guide Matt took us to a river to fish. All the crew caught a fish, with some catching many. Guide Matt is excellent, very safety conscious and keen for the crew to catch fish. Fully recommend this.

Excellent addition to our whistler trip - Matt was brilliant !! We both caught fish, learnt a lot about ice fishing - laughed at Matt’s stories and in general had a blast! Lost lake is beautiful and even if you don’t catch a fish the scenery and the story telling is worth it.

Fun Ice Fishing Experience! - I went ice fishing with Matt at Whistler Year Round Fishing at the beginning of May and it was a ball! He picked our group up from our hotel and provided us with lined Wellington boots that kept our feet nice and warm. We opted for the morning tour and within 20 minutes of picking us up we were on the ice. Matt has exclusive access to a local lake and we were the only ones out there! It was super cool to walk on the ice in the middle of the lake. The views were beautiful of Whistler and Blackcomb mountain and it was very peaceful. Matt brought a big auger and drilled holes into the ice and a few of us even got to try our hand at it. We were each given a bucket and fishing rod and within minutes my friend caught the first rainbow trout of the morning. Matt was extremely attentive and taught us the best techniques and kept our lines filled with shrimp. We each got turns trying out the fish finder and all of us caught fish (I caught three!). It was super exciting so feel the tug on the line and the fish were safely released back into the lake. I really wasn’t sure what I’d make of ice fishing but I felt as though it was a very Canadian experience and something totally different. Matt had us laughing the whole time and I’d definitely recommend getting out with him any time of year to do some fishing in Whistler - whether you’re a seasoned angler or first-timer.

Ice Fishing Adventure! - We call Queensland Australia home so when we visited Whistler in Canada for our first White Christmas we wanted to really do things we would never get to do at home! Matt picked us up from our hotel in Whistler Village, made sure we had our fishing licences done, provided great boots for walking on the lake without falling on our faces lol, and provided great expertise, commentary and instruction for our Ice Fishing Adventure! We caught plenty of Rainbows and even a Cut Throat Trout on our trip. We got to take great photos too as it was Christmas with Matt's Christmas hats on :) loved every moment and would definitely go again! If you are thinking about doing this, JUST DO IT!
