And if we can start a thread for ice fishing tent shaks pictures for all the genius ideas on the ice it will be great .. Thanks to all of you in advance ...I love ice fishing

You don't need a tent!
Go on a warm day like -20 an dress warm!

Went there last year a few times with out a tent.

Maybe I don't , but is it ok to put a tent on spray?

Tents are good for spray, just make sure to have lots of tie downs as the wind will be strong on most days. A flasher will also really help out, started using one last year and catch many more fish with it at Spray. A lot bites occur mid water column.

More then ok to put a tent up I was just giving you a hard time.

This year I'll be bringing myself one it gets cold! Lol.
It's like a wind tunnel sitting out there.

I figured ... When you said -20 .. But I heard that spray is very windy and told that a tent will not stand a chance , any recommendations as to what brand is best for heavy wind .

when you go there you'll see the modified igloos people build to seek shelter.....one day i fear i'll find Puddles frozen inside one clinging to his scooby doo rod with a frozen bowl of curry in his hands

Tents are fine as long as all the points are screwed down into the ice. I've used my Eskimo 3 man in some very strong winds without any issues, the tricky part is getting the first and second ice screw in without the tent blowing away.

It's a spiderman rod. Jeez...

To find me out there you'd have to actually come out there. The more realistic fear is finding you collapsed halfway down the hill if you ever decided to come.

Original Joe - I like the Eskimo tent as well. Use all the anchors and you will be fine.
