Until last Saturday, my experiences ice fishing included plenty of frostbite, cold feet and hands, and little more than several layers of <a href=”http://www.carhartt.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/HomeView?storeId=10051&catalogId=10101″ target=”_blank”>Carhartts</a> and a nylon-fabric tent for protection. Late last year one of my buddies from up north won a weekend with <a href=”http://www.ice-shack.com/index.htm” target=”_blank”>Distinct Builders Inc.’s Grand Lodge Fish House</a>. Well, he didn’t actually win the weekend, he won the silent auction for the weekend. And we got to take advantage of his hospitality in the frozen north last Saturday. All I can say is wow, there’s nothing like coming in out of the cold to experience the amenities of home … complete with indoor ice holes. I will let the photos speak for the <a href=”http://www.ice-shack.com/models.htm” target=”_blank”>Grand Lodge Fish House</a>, because I am still somewhat at a loss for words about the entire luxury experience.</p>

<p>If you have ever wanted to do some ice fishing, but were afraid of freezing something important, you should give it a try with a Lodge Fish House hooked to the back of your truck.</p>
