Packing List
Leaving you with the following items to pack:
- Food, Water and Warm Beverages:
Our basic package doesn’t include meals, but you could easily add meals to your stay for an all-inclusive package. Although our meals are tasty, we understand you may choose to eat your freshly caught fish, and that’s ok. However, you’ll want to make sure to pack your spices and garnish. Make sure to have plenty of water, and maybe some warm beverages, like coffee or hot cocoa.
- Cooler:
Although we provide buckets and our crisp winters often feel like a freezer, you’ll more than likely need a cooler to keep your food, and beverages cool inside the warm ice house.
- Fishing gear:
Bring your flasher, to see what’s below the ice, fishing rods, jigs, tackle, rod holders, extra fishing line, and bait.
- Clothing:
The ice fishing houses are both well heated and insulated, so staying warm is easy. However, if you plan on fishing outside, you’ll want to have warm clothing, boots, mittens, and hats. Any local will tell you that layers are a necessity up here. Now when you come ice fishing in Minnesota, you’ll be ready to make warm memories fishing on Lake of the Woods with River Bend’s Resorts.
