The Fish House Book, Life On Ice In The Northland


By Kathryn Nordstrom
Dovetailed Press LLC  $19.95 US

Ice fishing occurs in many cold places, but a book like this could only be produced in Minnesota. The author is a professional photographer who chronicled the state’s fish shanty culture. For ice anglers, this book is a tour of the familiar. For everyone else, it’s a window to another world. In either case, it’s a job well done.
