“The guide and transport was great. The ice fishing with fake bait is more for fishing experience. Chances to catch a fish is low. The BBQ salmon & marshmallow was delicious. The ice-floating experience was great too. Worth a try. Though the water doesnt sip through, we could still feel abit coldness from the icy waters. Overall, it was a good experience.”
