Bob House
Alton Bay has its first bobhouse just off the boat launch area and Shibley's. Rumor has it the Marine Patrol was there to make sure the owner had sufficient PFD's for all occupants, a warning device, and a paddle.
Oh well, someone has to be first!

And pictures
Here's two pictures, one from Harmony Park near the end of the bay looking out towards the bandstand, and one from the Community Center looking out past the Mt. Washington dock. About a half dozen or so ice fishers out there. One guy off Harmony Park said the ice was about 5 inches thick there. Just be safe and don't get a big group standing together.

Brave soul!
Is the Bob house equipped with a periscope? How thick is the ice on that part of the bay?

Given the temps last night and today, I hope those bob houses will "bob" and float on water!

Travel Channel's - Houses On Ice
If you can, catch Dreaming Big – Houses On Ice.
The whole show was very good and it was neat to see the spot on Meredith. (It is too bad that they didn’t do the filming during the Rotary’s Fishing Derby though.) There really are some very creative, colorful people that have built amazing houses all over the country. Many of them have all the comforts of home. Maybe I will have to venture out on the ice to check some our local bob houses out. Many of the houses on the show had rest rooms or sort. Are they self-contained or are they dumping into the lake? Are there rules and regulations for this? |

Houses on Ice
We really enjoyed the program. Never knew so much thought went into building these houses. Thought they were just shacks that held a chairl and you drilled a hole in the ice to fish - wow bathrooms, satellite tv, stoves. This is big business.

Fish Gill Shots
It was a most enjoyable program. I got a big kick out of the folks drinking shots out of the fishes' mouth that had been poured in through the gills! Also, the guys who had the pizza delivered....which begs a question for Pepper.....Does Waldo's deliver to bobhouses?

Once was enough!
McDude - once - and ONLY ONCE! Several years ago. Long story, but suffice it to say we won't do that again.

Gee I saw Pepper today and should have asked her about the Bob House delivery. But, my mind was on the wonderful Hot Buttered Lobster roll I had!
