Upper Peninsula of Michigan Winter Vacations

The UP of Michigan has excellent ice fishing opportunties for a variety of species. Walleyes are best known in the big lakes; Little and Big Bays de Noc, Lake Gogebic, Manistique Lakes, Lake Independence, and many others. Large Northern Pike can be found through the ice on any of the same lakes plus numerous smaller lakes and reserviors. Perch and Blue Gills also inhabit several inland lakes as well. We have several trout lakes filled with Rainbows, Brook Trout, Browns, Splake and Lake Trout. And on the severals bays on Lake Superior, Michigan and Huron you can target and catch Lake Trout, Whitefish and Burbot.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is one of the few areas of the United States where our winters are always cold enough to enure that we have ice that is thick enough to fish every winter and where you can be assured that your winter vacation will not be affected by warm weather and poor conditions. You can count on having ice and snow up here.

Ice Fishing the UP
Walleye, Northern Pike, Blue Gills, Crappie, Perch, Splake, Lake Trout

Marquette County in the Central Upper Peninsula of Michigan is blessed with several small inland lakes that are excellent ice fishing in the winter months for a variety of fish. The nice thing about small lakes is that they are not quite so hampered by wind and its much easier to get to the best fishing spots.

Rainbows, Splake, Northerns, Perch, Walleye, and Crappie are the species we primarily target through the ice. We have all of the gear, poles, tip-ups, Shelters, heaters, sleds and everything you'll need for a great time.

Ice fishing is truly a recreational activity that can turn cold winter weekends into fun and adventure for the whole family. This page will introduce you to the sport of ice fishing but it's mostly about spending some quality time with your family, out on the ice, and making the most out of the experience. Latest Ice Fishing Reports

For Walleye we recommend traveling down to Little Bay de Noc in northern Lake Michigan for some of the best walleye fishing in the Midwest. We can set you up with some of our participating outfitters that will supply you with shacks and fishing equipment.

The Pinecrest Resort at Republic, Michigan is one of our favorite resorts for a quality Ice Fishing Experience. With cabins that can sleep up to 10 people this resort is really a great place for a winter experience. Take a Sauna to warm up after spending a refreshing day on the ice. Juncob Lake at the resort has some excellent Crappie, Northern and Blugill fishing.

If you would rather stay in town closer to resturants and shopping we prefer the Holiday Inn which has a swimming pool and hot tub to warm up after a cold day on the lake.

We can also assist you in planning and finding some other outdoor activities that may interest you,such as, snowmobiling, skiing, snowshowing, dog sled rides, snow cat rides. Basic prices for these activities are: Snowmobiling $175.00 per day per sled, Dog Sled Tour $250.00 2 people per day,Snow Cat $350.00 4 hour trip 6 people, Snowshoeing $25.00 Rental per day, X-C Skiis $25.00 per day, Downhill Skiing $40.00 Lift ticket + Rentals if needed.
