ICE FX PACKING LIST

We are sincerely looking forward to welcoming you TO YOUR ICE FISHING FX. The dress code is casual and warm.

Upon arrival, you will be issued Ice Suits and Boots to be used for the duration of the program and returned at the end of the week. These ice suites are suitable gear for the cold weather and activities we will be doing, but proper base layers drastically help create a warm experience on the ice. Although we do have shelter out on the ice there is the potential to be exposed to temperatures well into the negatives. Keep this in mind while packing and err on the side of caution.
