Ice Fishing the right way

At Dale's Fishing, we work hard to provide our guests with fun, relaxing fishing experiences. Choose to rent for the day or spend a few nights. 

  • Our guests come to catch fish. We keep track of the fish bite and do our best to keep our fish houses on top of the fish.
  • Weather is always changing. You can count on us to monitor the weather conditions daily to keep you informed.
  • All propane tanks and each generator are checked throughout the day to make sure things are up and running.
  • Need something? We spend time at each of our fish houses throughout the day and include one final check before heading in for the night.  We check on how the fish are biting, if you need anything, and verify everything is working well in your house. We are also happy to sit and chat! We love getting to know our guests.
  • Guests can reach us 24/7 days a week.

There's a reason why our guests keep coming back each year. We enjoy what we do and we take pride in taking good care of our guests!
