Don't Let the Cold Keep You Indoors
Ice fishing in Nebraska is a great winter pastime that we offer at Elkhorn Outfitters during the coldest months of the year. Once the lake freezes, we start our ice fishing season. All you need is a fishing license—our crew takes care of everything else you could need. We do recommend bringing some hot drinks and snacks to enjoy while you’re hanging out on the ice.
