Ice Fishing off Middle Bass Island - Feb. 7, 2003

The ice shanties on the previous pages are fairly new and have propane heaters inside. Jim Roesch's, shown below, is a more traditional shanty that has a wood stove. The chimney is a good indication of this style.

The "2 Lite" shanty shown below was one of the more picturesque ones around. It was sitting near the ramp at the north end of the Middle Bass Club, probably waiting to be pulled back out.

Note the radio antenna. Most of the shanties use marine radios to stay in touch with the world, not CB's.
