The location

Same lake as our summer Blackwater expedition, in its winter form. We run a heated hut program on the ice — proper auger work, real fly setups under the cover, and a full kitchen running back at the lakeside camp.

Cold weather is part of the program. We provide outerwear support and the camp side stays warm.

Format

Heated hut fishing

Insulated huts on the ice. Auger drilling through 18"+ ice on a typical year.

Camp

Heated base camp

Wood-stove dining tent. Hot meals every service.

Table

Winter menu

Heavier, warming, comfort-forward. Wine + spirits paired.
