On the Flowage outside Crivitz, Ice Shack Rental #2 places a small, propane-heated shanty on a winter sheet of water where the operator drills the holes and you bring the rods. Roads are plowed onto the ice when it’s thick enough so vehicles can drive directly to the shack, and the setup is designed for daytime fishing, conversation and shared stories rather than overnight stays.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You arrive at the resort, load gear and head out across plowed lanes on the ice to the waiting shanty. The operator has drilled the holes; the propane heater softens the cold while rods and conversation fill the rest of the day. It’s a practical, social fishing outing—arrive with your equipment, fish through the daylight hours, then head back to shore at day’s end.
