For The Best Winter Sports Experience Choose Ice Fishing Houses

By Paulette Mason


If you enjoy freshwater fishing during the warmer months of the year, whether by boat or on the shoreline, then you already know what the thrill of the catch is like. In fact, the saddest part about fishing in this way is whether you use a rod and reel, a fly, or downriggers from a boat, you can only outrun the cold weather of winter for so long. Fortunately, if you purchase ice fishing houses, you will be able to open yourself up to one of the most extreme and exhilarating forms of the sport and be able to do it in the dead of winter.

If you have never heard of this type of accessory before, it is likely because the industry term for these structures is ice fishing trap. While the structure itself is not exactly a trap, the people who use it set the bait directly through the ice underneath. The hook and line creates the trap that will then bring the fish into the house where you can process it.

These shelters are labeled as portable or temporary, meaning they are set up on the ice for only a certain amount of time. Remember that the structure is meant to offer greater comfort from the cold so you can focus on fishing more. A good ice house will help you stay warm and dry during bad weather for a long time.

Ice traps range from basic to extremely sophisticated. If you have budget constraints, consider the simplest type which is a thick canvas and poly tent that you can raise and breakdown onsite. Just keep in mind that only your body heat and portable heat sources will be your only means of warmth.

There are also portable housing for the sport that comes brimming with extra amenities. These more elaborate structures typically do not collapse, are usually on wheels, and are towed behind a vehicle. They sport exteriors of insulated plastic, wood, and even metal, keeping you far warmer even without heating accessories.

The best of the traps however are decked out with everything from heating to power to sleeping bunks. If you plan to stake out the ice for days or weeks at a time, this is the shelter you want. Ultimately, it will become your portable cabin.

If your specialty is spear fishing, there is a special type of ice trap you can get known as a dark house. These small insulated structures impede sound and block out all external light sources. As fish get comfortable, they are lured to the surface near the bore hole, allowing you to spear it.

Regardless of what type of shelter you purchase, you can be certain that you will enjoy its benefits every winter. Finally, you will have the means to fish all year long, even in frigid temperatures. After purchasing one, great fish and greater memories await you.
