We had fun catching fish and seeing the Aurora Borealis. I had no idea what to expect going into this activity, but I couldn't have asked for anything better. Rod has put together a great team to make sure that we had a wonderful time. It was a good lesson to enjoy the moment. The patience brought us fish and the most gorgeous aurora viewing of our entire trip. Tip: make sure to keep out a least one fish to eat. We didnt and thats my biggest regret - not tasting the freshest fish on the planet.

The Aurora viewing & Ice Fishing Adventure is conducted at my heated fishing cabin on a lake. The spot was chosen for the great ice fishing and the wide open view of the sky. The tour is 10:00PM to 3:00AM every night from December through April. Thank you for the review.

We booked the Aurora Ice Fishing. VERY fun time catching fish and then when the Aurora comes out, you can walk outside and enjoy the lights. Fish on all night in the cabin and the lights were on outside. We met lots of new friends in the cabin too. I loved being able to warm up in the cabin, then go out and film the Aurora. Riley was an awesome host/guide. I can't say enough nice things about him. He made sure we were always taken care of. That was my first time eating reindeer and it was pretty darn good. Riley cooked us up a fish too and I was able to give my husband a hard time because I out fished him. What could be better? Highly recommend the Aurora Ice Fishing... 5 hours went by so fast because we were all having such a good time!

Called Rod for a last minute Aurora Borealis Ice fishing adventure and he came through. He was very friendly and accommodating for us. Our guide Riley was pretty awesome. He knew what he was doing, kept us entertained, and seemed to really love his job. We caught dozens of fish without much effort. Riley cooked a few up for us and they were delicious. The cabin was warm and the hot chocolate was good. We had the time of our lives viewing the Northern Lights. This is a bucket list item we'll never forget. I would recommend Rod's to everyone.

The view of the Northern Lights from the fishing cabin is excellent--away from city lights and a wide open view of the sky. I'm glad you were able to check an item off your bucket list. Thank you for the review.
