Ice Fishing Hut

What suits your comfort zone?

An ice fishing hut is a necessity for the serious ice fisherman. For those days when the temperature is down right nasty an ice fishing house will get you through the dry spells. Face it, the longer you stay out the better your chances of landing some fish.

An ice fishing house today can come in a wide range of configurations. Some of the shelters are quite conventional and common. Other ice fishing huts are amazingly well thought out and absolutely convenient.

Of the more conventional variety are the ice fishing houses designed to stay in one location for the entire winter. These are usually made of strong plywood and have a wood burning stove inside to keep things warm. Some anglers go all out and will build an ice fishing shack with bunk beds and a couch. These are your serious anglers.

It is common place to see an ice fishing shack built onto large “sleigh ski’s” for easy transportation by snowmobile. Getting into back bays or lakes where there is no road access make this concept a very good option. These ice fishing shacks usually fold up and down like a tent trailer.

A personal favorite is the Arctic Caboose. It is a two person ice fishing tent made of the same durable material as a sturdy tent. For travel, the caboose attaches to any 2-inch hitch on the back of a vehicle. It comes with straps to keep the hut from tearing in the wind while you are on the highway. It easily folds out in a matter of seconds onto the support legs right behind your vehicle. If you are into quick and convenient, this is the ice fishing house for you.

There are a wide range of options. Ask yourself if you are looking for an ice fishing house to be mobile or in a permanent location over the winter. This will dictate the kind of configuration you will require.

Stay warm and catch lots of fish.
