![Ice Shacks Also called ice huts, fishing shelters, ice houses, and more. These are on the Androscoggin River taken from the Brunswick side with Topsham in the background. Open water is visible and since I took this photo the open water has significantly enlarged and a few of these huts have been removed. We have had a much warmer winter than usual so far.
An ice shanty (also called an ice shack, ice house, fishing shanty, fish house, fish coop, bobhouse, ice hut, or darkhouse) cabane à pêche (fr) is a portable shed placed on a frozen lake to provide shelter during ice fishing. They can be as small and cheap as a plastic tarpaulin draped over a simple wooden frame, or as expensive as a small cabin with heating, bunks, electricity, and cooking facilities.
More durable ice houses are generally left on a lake for the duration of the ice fishing season, although this can cause problems, such as thaws and re-freezing causing houses to be immoveably frozen onto the lake. Lighter, cheaper versions can collapse into a package to be moved from lake to lake during the season.
Many northern communities have developed bodies of laws about the operation of ice shanties - frequently including dates by which they must be removed, even if the ice can still hold them.[Wikipedia]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53520845025_18220675dc_b.jpg)
