So many guys looking down a hole sayin please please please bite ya stupid fish. I wonder if they stake claims to a certain spot every year. Feathers must get ruffled once and a while. Did it when I was a kid. Good times.
Yeah there is different groups of shacks on the lake, think it depends on what kind of fish you are going for.
One guy out there has a real nice shack on its own with nobody else close to it, I swear he lives in there. Hes there 24/7

When I bought my acreage I found some thing in one of the sheds. I learned later that you put it under the ice and pull a string and it would walk under the ice. You could follow it cause of the brightcolors on it. Boy it sure would piss those ice fisher guys off to see that going under their huts. Lol

Antiques road show. Engine is an old Orenda, like the Avro Arrow ran. This particular one is an old TCPL portable trailer mounted pipeline booster. If I remember right it was driving a DeLaval centrif.

It's called a Jigger, for getting rope under the ice to then install commercial fish nets. It is made out of wood so it floats against the underside of the ice. The operating rope is tied to a movable steel arm. You pull on the rope , a pick on the wooded arm sticks in the ice and pushes the main board ahead typically 2-4 ft per stroke, then release tension and the arm is pulled forward by springs. Continue to desired distance, ours were 100 yards. Cut hole in ice in front of Jigger, move jigger ahead, hook rope up thru hole, point jigger in new direction. Pull jigger rope thru with a heavier pull line attached, then tie on net and pull under ice to set net into water.
Repeat until all lines are jigged and nets are set.
Making the Jigger move and move quickly takes practice and a good feel. Pull the rope to soft and it doesn’t move much, too hard and it will move backwards.
Winter kill of Whitefish has gotten worse overthe years from increase in algae growth in most lakes.
In South Buck Lake, and most lake in Alberta, they were trying to catch Whitefish (fish and roe /eggs (caviar) in larger lakes like Slave Lake) and some Ling Cod, very few other species fish were caught in nets because of the size of the net mesh (holes).
In Alberta until the mid 1980's anyone could buy a permit, then slowly it was more restrictive until all commercial net fishing was closed in 2014. My family fished South Buck Lake from 1970’s until it closed, a unique experience few people have ever done. People used to come out on the lake and buy our fish as we were pulling them from the net.
