One of southern Vermont’s oldest ice fishing guide services. Beginners are welcome. All ages and abilities are welcome. Trips are 3-4 hours with a heated shelter on cold days. All the fishing equipment is provided and the guide drills all the holes. Over 15 years old, a fishing license is required and must purchased day before the trip online. Ice conditions dictate whether we fish or not. Safety is the number one priority at Vermont fishing trips.
Trips are catch and release unless other prior arrangements have been made. BogaGrips are used to ensure clean releases & to allow for photographs that will last forever.
Vermont ice fishing guides drill all the holes
Vermont ice fishing guides set up everything
VT ice fishing guides will drill the holes with a Strike Master 24V Lithium 6” Ice Augers that never gets tired and will bait and set up tipups.
We use tip ups to ice fish and this is how they work
ICE FISHING 101 : What is a tip up & how they work!
All equipment is provided. I drill all the holes with a Strike Master 24V Lithium 6” ice auger that never gets tired. Tip ups will then be baited and set. The target species include: Northern Pike, Large and Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch.

My portable two person shanty is a: Clam Thermal XL Nanook flip over. The heater a Mr. Heater Big Buddy propane heater…COLD? I think NOT. With a fishable area 23 square feet, it's very comfortable even on the coldest days!

You will need to purchase a fishing license online from the State of Vermont. Upon booking I will provide you with the link. Everything else to enjoy a morning of ice fishing is included in the guide rate. Personalized guidance is my specialty.
