    3 Rivers Guide Service

    Last time I spoke with Darren he wasn’t guiding on the ice for Sturgeon, but was considering it.

    Seems like there’s a good calling for an ice guide.

    Update: He has limited openings for ice. Give him a shout.

    Unfortunately outfitted guide trips on the ice is not as easy as it sounds. Lots of variables when it comes to providing that service. It’s such a short window to begin with, and then and lots of liability and safety issues dealing with transportation and weather conditions. Plus there are many slow nights of catching out there. However, there might be a few select opportunities this winter to do a fully outfitted trip. Perhaps an alternative is a couple of scheduled group seminars on the ice showing successful techniques, locations and preferred gear. In other words, pay a nominal registration fee, show up with your own transportation and gear and hopefully learn a thing or two.

    I would sign up for something like this. I want to start targeting sturgeon through the ice but as you mentioned there are so many variables (especially on a river). Please keep us posted if something like this gets organized. Thanks.
