fish house

Frozen lake shelter

A fish house is a small structure on a frozen lake used for ice fishing, providing shelter from wind and cold while anglers fish through holes cut in the ice.

In the Upper Midwest, fish houses range from bare-bones shacks to elaborately outfitted cabins with heaters and bunks: We spent the weekend in the fish house on Mille Lacs.

Also called an ice house or ice shanty.
