Shelter from Cold Days while Ice Fishing
On cooler days anglers look for shelter in an Ice hut also Known as ice shanty, ice shack, fish house, shack and bob house. Ice huts can be portable or permanent in structure. Portable structures are made up of light weight, wind and waterproof materials such as Nylon. The framing is built of a collapsible style pole, which can be set up and taken down in under a minute by one person with ease. Permanent structures are more elaborate, made of wood or metal and usually have wheels or skies for easy transport. I compare Permanent Ice shacks to the "Hilton" of Ice huts because they can contain: wood stoves, satellite television, full size beds, washrooms, card tables etc... More or less a home away from home. In some parts of Canada, small villages will form at a popular fishing hole and even the postal service will make it a delivery route.
