Nice but small. Lake Mille Lacs ice houses run to the 12 x24 range.
Private owner ones have really nice interiors. FrankW wrote: > Check this out if you're into ice fishing > > http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing...01.0;topicseen > |

Re: O.T. Ice shanty
In Vermont you have to mark your ice shack with your name and address.
The wardens check and fine you if they're not properly marked. They do this to identify to fools who don't get the shack off the ice before spring thaw and end up having to be dragged out of the lake. Big fine for that. :-) Matt Macchiarolo wrote: > I wonder how many are on the bottom of the lake? > > "RoyJ" <spamless@microsoft.net> wrote in message > news:MYeuh.17288$w91.2396@newsread1.news.pas.earth link.net... >> Nice but small.

Re: O.T. Ice shanty
Ditto in Minnesota. If you have a warm winter, the house will sink into
the ice and freeze solid, maybe a foot into the ice. Then the warm weather hits and the lake is closed to truck/car vehicle traffic. Thats when you pay one of the locals a handsome fee to retrieve it with a couple of ATV's, ice picks, and lots of labor. The alternative is paying the DNR boys and they are not cheap at all. People used to burn their frozen in shacks, leaves a real mess of chared lumber floating in the lake after ice out.

Re: O.T. Ice shanty
I'm sure there is a similar provision for Michigan, but having lived here
for almost 15 years after living in the South, I still do not venture onto frozen bodies of water if I can help it. I walked on the Black River in Port Huron my first winter here, and I was scared sh*tless the whole time, cause you could hear the ice creaking and cracking from the river current.

And yes, Michigan, and most other states, have requirements of putting your name, address, and phone number on your shack. Some bodies of water have a deadline for removing the shacks from the ice. I believe in Michigan it is March 15. They also can move the deadline if it appears the ice will become unstable before that. If your shack is on the ice after the deadline, it is an automatic fine. If it goes through the ice, be prepared for about a $3000+ bill for fines and extraction from the DNR. Going out on the ice isn't for everyone, but if you go with someone responsible that knows the ice conditions, it is quite safe and can be a lot of fun. We have had BBQs, parties, and such on Green Bay many times. Not to mention the snowmobile, ATV and car races on the ice. Gotta make the best of the cold weather until I move somewhere thats warm all the time. Chris |
