Ice Fishing
LIGHTFOOT OUTDOORS
Day House
HEAT ON - HOLES DRILLED
Spend the whole day fishing, or just part of it. My Day House package includes use of a heated, open floor plan fish house with seating for up to 4 anglers. The holes will be drilled when you arrive and while I can't make any promises, I do work hard all winter to keep my houses on fish. The rest is up to you!
Rates:
$225 per Day House, 1-4 people
Sleeper House
OVERNIGHT ADVENTURE
Spend the night in one of my sleeper houses, which include bunks, drilled holes, heat, rattle reels and a generator. I don't have cooktops in my sleepers, but can provide a portable cookstove. There is nothing quite like the sound of a rattle reel going off at 2AM!
Rates:
$350 per Sleeper House, 1-3 people
$400 per Sleeper House, 4 people

Run-and-gun style Active Guide Service is available. If you're interested, I'd be happy to customize a trip for you. Contact me and let's make it happen!

What's Included
Ice fishing trips include a heated fish house in a good spot, holes drilled, seating for up to four anglers, and my best advice. I provide transportation to and from the ice house during early season. Once the ice is drivable, I'll have plowed roads and lead you to the house in your own vehicle, then you can come and go as you please.
I don't include bait with winter trips but it can be purchased at The Corner Store where I often meet clients before heading out. Winter fish cleaning services are also available. If you'd like winter shore lunch, the fine folks over at Beach Bums on Otter Tail Lake will cook up your fillets on the spot.
The lake we fish and species we target varies based on the time of year and conditions. We're blessed with a lot of good options here in Otter Tail County! Most of my clients prefer walleye but I have plenty of winter guiding experience for crappie, sunfish, and northern pike on dozens of local lakes. Feel free to contact me any time to book or with questions. If I don't answer, I'm probably in the plow truck! Just leave a message and I'll get back to you ASAP.
