 Now, providing a place for anyone in the community to enjoy ice fishing, that's what a club in Park Rapids did. And as our Josh Peterson shares with us in this week's community spotlight, the community has been taking full advantage of this opportunity. Without some of the key tools, ice fishing could be difficult for a person wanting to try the winter sport. Providing not only the tools, but also a luxury experience is what the Park Rapids chapter of the Minnesota Dark House and Anglers Association set out to do. I don't think there's hardly a day goes by when there's no person using it. The community fish house is managed by its club members, and each week a different member takes a turn checking on the fish house each day and making sure it's ready for its next guest. Basically what we're looking for in the morning, we go out make sure the heater is running, holes are open, rods and everything is there and in order. The house is outfitted with gear for fishing enthusiasts of all types. The gear includes fishing rods and reels, rattle wheels, tackle and an underwater camera and depth finder. We furnish everything but bait. The rods and reels are out there, everything else is furnished. For nine years the Park Rapids community fish house has provided fishing enjoyment for anglers of all ages, but it's not just the anglers that are getting the most out of the experience. Well it's just helping people out, it's people that don't get a chance to fish in the winter time. That's the biggest thing. Providing this winter experience can be extremely expensive with just the cost of insurance and propane alone. That is why fundraising is done year round and advertisements are sold that cover the community fish house. We ask for donations and those donations pretty well pay for the propane is the biggest cost and then there's also insurance on the fish house that we have fundraisers for. The community fish house has proven itself to be extremely popular. If you want to sign up for a time slot to use the facility you will need to plan ahead. Right now it's probably filled up for three weeks ahead of right now. The community fish house is located near the access on Fish Hook Lake.
