fish houses

Huts on lakes

Fish houses are small structures, typically wooden shacks, placed on frozen lakes for ice fishing.

They shelter anglers from winter weather while they fish through holes in the ice.

Some are simple windbreaks; others have heaters, bunks, and amenities for overnight stays.

In Minnesota and other northern states, temporary villages of fish houses appear each winter: The lake was dotted with fish houses by January.
