Make that daydream about ice fishing in Palmer a reality, with Crazy J’s Guiding!

The stunning scenery here includes backcountry waters, including some spots that only the locals know about.

The name of the game around here is light tackle fishing, and that's what you can expect on the day of your trip. You may also jig, for your catch. Josh will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.

These waters are known for Burbot, Northern Pike, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Lake Trout, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time.

You're welcome to take home any fish within size and bag limits. Josh can even clean your catch for you so it's easy to cook. Now that's a fresh meal! Josh welcomes groups as large as 4 on this guided experience. You'll make your way to the fishing grounds on foot, so dress accordingly and bring only as much as you can carry.

If needed, Josh might provide transportation but you can otherwise expect to meet at the fishing grounds. Get in touch to find out more before the day – you can even send a quick message below.

Everyone in your group should buy a local fishing license ahead of time. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply. Plan to dress in layers and appropriate footwear (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring bottled water and snacks.

Ready to have the whole family unplug? Then you'll be glad to know that kids are more than welcome. Remember to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise, you'll have to bring your own.

And with that, you're ready to experience the great outdoors in Palmer. So make it happen, with Crazy J’s Guiding!

Great day on the ice

Josh was great at communicating with me about the booking. Our first ice fishing experience was a great one. Josh was flexible and accommodating. We would definitely go with him again!
