Great tour ! - Jake was a great guide. Information from his company and website is lacking in details to no fault of Jake.
The Olnes pond has a bathroom that was open and you can park Rt next to both the pond & bathroom. You take the first right turn after driving in. You do have to buy a fishing license either at Walmart, Fred meyers, or online. It is $15/person and you do not need a salmon “stamp.” You do have to sign the 1 day fishing license to make it valid (either electronically or print it out) this info was relayed to us via a text at 7pm the night before our tour. Not great. But definitely go on this tour we caught only one fish but it was a fun experience !!

#TeamNoSkunk - My family and I had a fantastic time fishing with Jake! He is very knowledgeable about the fish species and the techniques used to catch fish. I am an avid fisherman and I always try to book a fishing trip every time I visit a different state. Using the techniques he showed us, I was able to land a rainbow trout! There was also a tent provided that kept those who were cold plenty warm. I highly recommend booking through Reel Alaskan Adventures!

Ice fishing fun! - We had a great time ice fishing! Our guide Jake was very knowledgeable and helpful! We stayed warm in the hut!
In addition to the fun, we learned a ton about the history of the area - something beyond what we could read or explore. Jake made this a huge part of our first trip to Alaska.

Highly recommend fishing with Jake - Jake did a fantastic job finding where the fish were biting. He was determined to help catch a fish. He drilled about a dozen different holes so we could test different areas. Eventually I landed a nice sized rainbow trout. The whole experience was awesome. I highly recommend booking with Jake. His commitment to his guests positive experience is 10/10

Great experience ice fishing with Jake - Jake Barrette was our guide for this experience. Everything (tent, chairs, heaters, drilled holes, and fishing equipment) was prepared by the time we arrived at the location. Jake gave us a quick tutorial before we started and let us take turns using his fish finder for a different experience. He has lots of stories to share about living in Alaska and shares some pretty sick videos of the aurora. Overall would highly recommend going ice fishing with Jake.

It was the best experience ever. - I had an ice fishing tour with Jake B. He was the best guide! He was very friendly, patient, and a good teacher on how to get the fish on the actual hook. I was able to catch two fish. Jake was knowledgeable about the local area and fish! I couldn't have asked for a better guide. I would book again. I recommend 10/10.

Do it! - I was looking for something new to do and came upon ice fishing. I've been to Fairbanks several times so I've done a lot but hadn't done this. I'm so glad I did. It's one of my favorite activities to date. Jake communicated well in advance and sent a pin that took me to the precise location (I was driving myself). The conversation was fun and I had a blast! The actual fishing was really cool and Jake showed me how the different gear works since I'm a noob. I almost caught a fish but even though it got away it was still a wonderful experience. The scenery on the pond can't be beat. On top of that, Jake stepped in to help in case my car was stuck as I feared! He also gave great food recommendations and was very knowledgeable about the area and fishing and outdoor activities in general.
