Ice Fishing the UP
Walleye, Northern Pike, Blue Gills, Crappie, Perch, Splake, Lake Trout
 
Marquette County in the Central Upper Peninsula of Michigan is blessed with several small inland lakes that are excellent ice fishing in the winter months for a variety of fish. The nice thing about small lakes is that they are not quite so hampered by wind and its much easier to get to the best fishing spots.
 
Rainbows, Splake, Northerns, Perch, Walleye, and Crappie are the species we primarily target through the ice. We have all of the gear, poles, tip-ups, Shelters, heaters, sleds and everything you'll need for a great time.
 
Ice fishing is truly a recreational activity that can turn cold winter weekends into fun and adventure for the whole family. This page will introduce you to the sport of ice fishing but it's mostly about spending some quality time with your family, out on the ice, and making the most out of the experience. Latest Ice Fishing Reports

For Walleye we recommend traveling down to Little Bay de Noc in northern Lake Michigan for some of the best walleye fishing in the Midwest. We can set you up with  some of our participating outfitters that will supply you with shacks and fishing equipment.

The Pinecrest Resort at Republic, Michigan is one of our favorite resorts for a quality Ice Fishing Experience. With cabins that can sleep up to 10 people this resort is really a great place for a winter experience. Take a Sauna to warm up after spending a refreshing day on the ice. Juncob Lake at the resort has some excellent Crappie, Northern and Blugill fishing.

If you would rather stay in town closer to resturants and shopping we prefer the Holiday Inn which has a swimming pool and hot tub to warm up after a cold day on the lake.

We can also assist you in planning and finding some other outdoor activities that may interest you,such as, snowmobiling, skiing, snowshowing, dog sled rides, snow cat rides. Basic prices for these activities are: Snowmobiling $175.00 per day per sled, Dog Sled Tour $250.00 2 people per day,Snow Cat $350.00  4 hour trip 6 people, Snowshoeing  $25.00 Rental per day, X-C Skiis $25.00 per day, Downhill Skiing $40.00 Lift ticket + Rentals if needed.
