The winners! Maine's Fish Friendly ice shacks get new homes

"I won the shack?" Sen. Tom Saviello said Monday when he got the call. "I won the shack!" Sen. Saviello (R-Franklin) and Ben Starrett of Topsham, each won a Fish Friendly Ice Shack in a raffle to benefit Maine's fish and other aquatic creatures. In an odd twist of fate, Starrett's father, John, was one of the volunteers who built the ice shacks.
"I am very happy," Ben Starrett said. "And I'm sure Dad will be very happy as well."
Maine's Fisheries Improvement Network (FIN), an alliance of forest landowners and managers, federal and state fisheries managers, sponsored the raffle and non-governmental organizations determined to improve Maine's fisheries. Proceeds will be used to upgrade snowmobile stream crossings to improve fish passage and habitat connectivity. Snowmobile trails can impact stream crossings and fragment habitat just as roads do.

Wish I could get plans for it.

I would love to have plans for one of these, if the designers would sell them, that would raise a LOT of money for charity.

I would also love the plans to build my own. I wonder where those yellow clips on the tarp can be found….

Raffle guy: "Are you an ice fisherman?"
Raffle winner: "No"
That bugs me, if you don't ice fish, why would you enter a raffle to win a fishing shack?
Please give it to some one who is an avid ice-fisherman.
