A $50,000 ice fishing house
An engineer and fishing enthusiast develops a mobile fish house for ice fishing, complete with high-end accoutrements.
n past years ice fishing meant pitching a small “fish house” onto the ice, chiseling a hole, and hoping you’d chosen a spot with hungry fish.
That was until Tom Lykken, engineer, avid fisherman and co-owner of SnoBear Industries, based in West Fargo, N.D., developed the world’s first motorized fish house in his garage.
The SnoBear is a fully equipped fish house that can be driven along the ice on tracks and skis. It lowers itself at the flip of a switch, and built-in power drills cut as many as six fishing holes into the lake’s surface.
The vehicles, which cost from $33,000 to $50,000, can be customized with anything from satellite TV to GPS-enabled fish-tracking devices. They also come equipped with escape hatches, just in case.
