    Winter Guide Rates
    NOTES: 

    I also have other winter guides I utilize if my busy ice fishing schedule doesn’t allow me to take your group. Please note this year we have several permanent “Satelite” houses along with our portable “Otter” houses. Every year my schedule is a bit more hectic, and thus I have called on the services of a few fellow licensed Captains to help me out. There is nobody that gets it done on the ice like Rainydaze Guide Service!!
