Summary:
It was a very nice trip. We did ice fishing in a nice small lake in the forest and caught a fish that we used to cook a delicious soup. The guide was super friendly and welcoming and we spent a splendid time together. Completely recommended!

Had an amazing day by the cabin for a real experience ice fishing. Caught my first ever rainbow trout :) The trout was put into a lovely fish soup, served at the cabin. Also had the opportunity to try out the new snow mobiles in the woods :)
Thanks for a great day, would definitely recommend!

Summary:
This is the perfect place to be if you want to do ice fishing but also have the option to run for warmth to a cosy lodge. The tour operators have several tricks up their sleeves (special bait, special cap :D) to entice the fish to bite and true enough 1 hour plus later both me and my husband caught rainbow trout so we had 2 fishes that was later cooked to perfection for us to enjoy! Honestly, the best salmon soup we ever tasted!
