Important: we are a 100% CATCH & RELEASE guiding company. Under no exceptions do we bring home fish to eat. Minimum age requirement of 10 After we pick you up from your Airbnb in Whistler we will head over to one of the stocked lakes in town to catch Rainbow Trout which on average range between 10 & 14 inches in length. I will set up a large portable ice fishing shelter which will have a heater inside to keep you nice and toasty. After drilling a few holes into the ice with my powered Auger, I will have you fishing in no time. If it's a nice day you can move around the lake a lot more. This way, you can take in all the beautiful scenery the area has to offer which includes Whistler and Blackcomb mountain in the background. There is a good chance we will have the lake all to ourselves. It's the perfect getaway when you need a break from skiing and want some quiet time.

Observing over the fence, or walking in the herd of 5 horses, depending on the confidence of all involved. You may choose a horse, or they may choose you, or I may pair you with an equine partner for further interactions, which could range from just ‘being with you just as you are’ or catching, haltering, grooming, leading, or going through obstacles . Further sessions could address areas in your life which you would like to improve or investigate such as boundaries, leadership, relaxation, confidence-you decide or I can suggest. Horses are wonderful mirrors for us, non judgemental, accepting of our real selves. They help us remember the ‘secret’ to life could be ‘just breathe’.
