Ice Fishing House – You Don’t Have To Be Cold When Ice Fishing
Whether you want to experience ice fishing for the first time or you are a seasoned pro, there is a way you can enjoy fishing on frozen water without the need to fight the severest weather conditions.
In fact you will be warm, indoors and you could even have hot venison sausages turning on the griddle while you fish!
How is this possible?
With an ice fishing house.
Like all fishing, it is you against nature.
You could be waiting some time before you catch your next fish. With an ice fishing house, you will not have to be freezing cold, sat on a cold chair.
Instead you could stoke up the fire, and fish in warmth and protection.
An ice house is more than just a portable ice shelter. It is a semi-permanent structure that is either fixed to one spot for a season or hauled to a spot by means of a sled or trailer.
As with most things in life, there are several makes and models, some larger and more luxurious than others.
The more luxurious houses will have off the floor heaters with regulators to control heat output, small kitchens with stove and eating and preparation space and lighting and electricity via generators.
And of course like a real home, your ice fishing house will have sleeping areas for overnight or longer fishing adventures.
Another advantage is that you can rent them to other ice fishers and use them as a source of income.
Whether, you buy new, have one custom built , rent one, or my favourite, purchase a used one, your decision will need to consider the size you need, to ensure your ice fishing house will accommodate the maximum number of people likely to use it.
