Ice fishing
Ice fishing is the practice of catching fish with lines and fish hooks or spears through an opening in the ice on a frozen body of water. Ice fishermen may fish in the open or in heated enclosures, some with bunks and amenities.
Shelters
Longer fishing expeditions can be mounted with simple structures. Larger, heated structures can make multiple day fishing trips possible.
A structure with various local names, but often called an ice shanty, ice shack, fish house, shack, bobhouse, or ice hut, is sometimes used. These are dragged or towed onto the lake using a vehicle such as a snowmobile, ATV or truck. The two most commonly used types are portable and permanent. The portable houses are often made of a heavy material that is usually watertight. The two most common types of portable houses are those with a shelter that flips behind the user when not needed, or pop up shelters with a door as the only way out. The permanent shelters are made of wood or metal and usually have wheels for easy transport. They can be as basic as a bunk heater and holes or have satellite television, bathrooms, stoves, full-size beds and may appear to be more like a mobile home than a fishing house.

Ice-Fishing
by: Kevin TellieIts not too late to go ice-fishing
And its not too early to wake
If you and I were to close the doors
Would our eyes have closed?
In your dreams are they filled sweetly to the brim?
Do they talk to you about me?
Can I color your sky?
Can I paint your dreams ?
You look up at the ceiling, what do you see?
I look down from the ceiling and I see what you see
I will surrender my heart for you
To look into you is the greatest view
Maybe if I wasn’t so dumbfounded
Maybe if I saw through
I didn’t think, we still laughed
Laughing with you
Your so modest but you are everything I say
You look up at the ceiling, what do you see?
I look down from the ceiling and I see what you see
I will surrender my heart for you
To look into you is the greatest view
I could make copies of your smile and still be amazed
I could read your lips till I die
Could you get lost in my eyes?
I wouldn’t find my way home out of yours
And I say even laughing fills me to the brim
You look up at the ceiling, what do you see?
I look down from the ceiling and I see what you see
I will surrender my heart for you
To look into you is the greatest view
Its not too late to go ice-fishing
Its not too early to wake
I will surrender my heart for you
