Ice fishing with live sonar: you see on screen where the fish move under the ice. Gear and basic instruction are included, and a guide for the whole trip is available on request.
In summer we go fishing by motorboat with a guide. The sonar shows the fish, and the gear is ready for you. You stay at the same guesthouse by the lake.
You sit by the ice hole the traditional way, but the sonar screen shows the fish, your lure and everything under the ice in real time.
The guide takes you by boat to the fishing spots, and the sonar shows where the fish are. The gear is ready, so you don't need your own boat or rods.
