"Absolutely unbelievable experience. Aziz knew exactly where to drill and within an hour we had six fish. The mountains behind us, the ice below โ€” I've never felt so alive outdoors."

James Morrison London, UK ยท January 2026

"We took our kids (7 and 10) on the family tour. Lola was patient, funny and incredibly safe-conscious. Both kids caught fish and now won't stop talking about going back. 10/10 for families."

SP
Sarah Petrov Dubai, UAE ยท February 2026

"The Alpine Ice Adventure with Timur was the highlight of my entire trip to Central Asia. Remote location, 35 cm thick ice, and we pulled up pike that had never seen a lure before. Just epic."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your ice fishing day trip in Uzbekistan.

Not at all! Ice fishing is one of the most beginner-friendly winter activities. Our guides will teach you everything you need to know โ€” from drilling the hole with an auger to reading the bite and handling your catch. Most first-timers catch multiple fish on their first day.
The ice fishing season typically runs from late December through early March. January and February offer the thickest ice (20โ€“40 cm) and the best fishing conditions. The mountain lakes around Tashkent freeze consistently every year due to the elevation.
We provide all fishing equipment: ice auger, ice fishing rods and reels, jigs and lures, bait, a folding stool, and an ice fishing shelter (on full-day tours). You just need to wear warm clothing โ€” we also provide recommendations for what to wear based on the forecast temperature.
Charvak Reservoir โ€” our primary ice fishing location โ€” is approximately 80 km northeast of Tashkent, about 1.5 hours by road. We offer comfortable transfer service with pickup from central Tashkent at 7:00 AM, returning by approximately 5:00โ€“6:00 PM.
Safety is our top priority. We check ice thickness at every location every morning. We only proceed if ice is at least 15 cm (walking) or 20 cm (groups). All guides are first-aid certified. We provide ice picks (self-rescue tools) and life-throw equipment on every tour. In 8 years, we have never had a safety incident.
The most common catches at Charvak are common perch (Perca fluviatilis), roach, bream, and pike. Alpine lake tours may yield trout and marinka (a local Uzbek species). Catch rates are high โ€” most guests catch between 5 and 20 fish depending on conditions and patience.
