Have you ever been ice fishing?

Did you fish on the open ice or in a fish house? Or, have you done both?

I have done it on open ice and in a tent like "shanty".

@bowman81 Cool.

@bowman81 I think this is one of those terms that vary regionally. Minnesotans, for example, say "fish houses", while Wisconsinites say "ice fishing shanties."

(And Alabamans, no doubt, call it "insanity!")

@DrWatson At times I think the Alabamans have it right.

@DrWatson Yes, we used to say "fish house."
