Fishing was an amazing experience! It was so peaceful and Matthew was extremely accommodating and patient with my son. He always made sure safety was a priority! The experience was a blast and we can’t wait to do it again!
We had a fantastic ice fishing trip with Matt — we caught a few trout, and both the kids and I had an amazing time. Highly recommended!
Glad you guys had such a great ice fishing trip. Awesome that the kids had fun and you caught some trout. It was a blast fishing with all of you. Appreciate the recommendation!
We got to go out on the ice the first day of the season. Matt was awesome at giving us safety information along with guidance on how to catch trout under the ice. He moved us from spot to spot to increase our chances. Every group in the tour caught at least one fish. Matt even gave the literal coat off of his back to my son when he was cold. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone traveling to Whistler.
Thanks for the awesome review! Really glad we got to kick off the ice season with you guys and that everyone walked away with at least one fish. No worries at all about the coat; as a born & raised Canadian I'm use to the cold! Means a lot that you’d recommend it to others. Hope to see you back on the ice next winter!
From pick up to drop off this experience was magical. The finishing location was beautiful and we were able to catch some beautiful fish. Matt was an excellent instructor!
Thanks for the review! Glad the trip from start to finish worked well for you, and that the location and fish made it memorable. Appreciate the kind words about the instruction too. Hope to see you back on the water next time you're in Whistler.
This was a great experience. Matt was very accomodating and made the day enjoyable. Definitely recommend using him as a fishing guide.
Really appreciate the kind words! I’m glad the boys had a great time out on the ice. It was a pleasure guiding them, and I’d love to get them back out there for another trip sometime. Tight lines!
Even if you're not into fishing you''ll enjoy this unique experience Ice Fishing on a frozen lake. It's different, it holds your attention and when you catch a fish or two it's a real buzz for you and the group, you're with. It's something you don't get to do every day, definitely worth a try.
Glad you had a great time out on the ice! Ice fishing is definitely a unique experience, and it's always awesome to see people get hooked on it—especially when the fish start biting! Hope to have you back out again sometime. 🎣❄️
Great experience and a great guide. We caught many fish and it was fun and we got lucky with the weather
So glad you had a great time! Nothing beats a day full of fish, fun, and good weather. Appreciate you coming out, and hope to see you again for another adventure!
It was a fun and unique experience!! We had so much fun 😊 everything was beyond our expectations. We did in total about 16 catch and release! I truly recommend for a fun different activity!
Thanks so much! I’m really glad you had a great time and that it was even better than you expected. Its always a good day when you catch double digit fish. It was awesome having you out there, and we welcome you back anytime
BEST FISHING ADVENTURE IN THE SNOW! My wife, husband, adult daughter and her boyfriend all went ice fishing for the first time. Matt was a great teacher who is very passionate about the environment, fish and our success. We caught numerous rainbow trout and had a great time. Highly recommend this excursion when u need a break from the slopes.
Thanks so much for the awesome review! I had a blast taking your family out on your first ice fishing trip. Watching everyone catch rainbow trout and have such a great time was awesome to see. I’m really glad you all enjoyed it. It’s a fun way to take a break from the slopes. Hope to see you again next time you’re in town! And just remember that it's not the size of the rod that matters....its how you jig it.
My son and I started out the New Year ice fishing and had a great time! We learned a lot and were lucky to get out as it finally got cold enough to be out on the ice safely. It was great learning from an expert and we loved the novelty of being out on the ice. Matt was patient in teaching the basics and worked hard to make it a fun, easy trip. The time went by quickly and I can't wait to get back out.
Thanks for taking the time to write us a review. I’m so glad you and your son had a great start to the New Year out on the ice. It was awesome that the conditions lined up perfectly for your trip, and I loved helping you both get the hang of ice fishing. It’s always a treat to share the experience of being out on the ice. It is something special to be standing on a frozen lake fishing. I’d be thrilled to have you back for another adventure anytime!
