Ice Fishing Adventure in Whistler
Overview
Escape the crowds and step onto a frozen Whistler lake and immerse yourself in one of Canada’s most iconic winter traditions with Whistler Year-Round Fishing. We’ll outfit you with warm, insulated winter boots complete with ice cleats for safety and comfort, then take you to one of our prime local lakes. There, your expert guide sets up a spacious, heated ice-fishing shelter that keeps you toasty warm while you target feisty stocked rainbow trout ranging from 8 to 14 inches — with the exciting chance of landing a trophy 18+ incher. This is the authentic, cozy Canadian winter experience you came to Whistler for — one to cross off your bucket list forever!
