I'm fascinated - what's an ice fishing hut?

The ice is about 20 inches/50 cm thick here in winter, and fishermen drill holes through the ice and drop fishing lines. To keep warm, they like a hut with a propane heater nearby (sometimes with a fishing hole inside). The huts range from the size of a large outhouse to ones with bunk beds. They drive out to them in trucks, ATVs or ski-doos.

Right here on the Ottawa River? I've lived here for more than 40 years and I never knew.

Actually, it is Callander Bay off Lake Nipissing, a couple of hundred miles west and a bit north of you. Web site https://blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org/allin/2019/01/19/crossing-the-ottawa-river-on-an-ice-bridge/ shows the ice bridge across the Ottawa River downstream from Ottawa, and also has a few ice huts in it.
