Dressing appropriately for the conditions can often make a difference in the experience you have out on the ice. Proper clothing for various weather conditions such as good base layers, a coat, hat, gloves, sweater, sturdy boots, etc.
Be sure to dress in layers. Our ice huts are warm, have heaters, and are set up before you get there, but the walk/ride out to the hut can be chilly.
Do not wear shoes that are not suitable for snow and ice including tennis shoes and dress boots. Warm, sturdy, heavy-soled, winter boots are recommended.

Allergies
Safety is key so if you, or a member of your fishing party, has a known allergy we ask that you bring anything that you would use/need in case of an emergency.
Safety On The Ice
We take safety very seriously at GSO Fishing. We ask that if you have kids or pets that you keep track of them at all times. Running and playing on the ice is not advised.
We understand that booking a guided fishing trip for the first time can be a bit confusing so we put together a list of our most Frequently Asked Questions to help answer any questions you may have and/or ones that you haven’t even thought of yet.
