This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Love those fishontario huts! Was going to build one myself this year til I received a donor CLAM 2000 from JH and Tipup.

Looks well built. Are you planning on heating it at all? A propane lantern would work pretty well in there if the wind wasn't howling.

Thanks for posting these pics bud.
