Water and Wings – Airboat Ice Fishing 

Make an adventure out of your next trip to Trempealeau and go fishing with Water and Wings. Your guide for the day is Captain Lars, allowing you to benefit from his years of experience on the Mississippi River.

Crappie, Northern Pike, Sunfish, Walleye, Yellow Perch, Bluegill, and more could be biting, depending on conditions.

For these species, you're likely to ice fish using tip-ups and tip-downs, depending on conditions.

If you're traveling with the family, you'll be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate sizes are available on board. Don't forget to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Capt. Lars operates a 20' airboat that holds up to 6 passengers.

Your captain will provide everything needed for a great day on the ice, including live bait, hub-style ice shacks, tip-downs, and tip-ups. Groups are more than welcome to bring their own rods and electronics.

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
