Ice fishermen - up in the negatives before dawn, carting out ice augers, woven baskets full of traps and sporting a uniform sponsored by Carhartt thankful for the ice shanty and its wood stove to keep them warm. But the shanty is more than a warm refuge, its a place for a few of the boys to get together, for families and friends to catch up, to teach the next generation about how dad spent his winters in Maine with his dad; to get away from the phone and the tv. Oh and the fish…its always better if you go home with some and a good story counts for more than a good fish, but that’s not the reason people are here. Ice fishing, it’s just a guise for people to spend time together.
