The
Fish House Book: Life on Ice in the Northland
by Kathryn Nordstrom
with an essay by Arnold
R. Alanen
Fish houses are typically small in scale and simply
built. Because of their utilitarian and functional features, they serve as
examples of what scholars term “vernacular” buildings. But even though the form
and construction of fish houses may be basic, a rich tradition of folklore,
common sense, and science is associated with them. Ice fishing, in fact, often
serves as the stuff of legend, and many of its practices are imbued with
substantial doses of humor and levity. As revealed by the images that comprise
the body of Kathryn Nordstrom’s book, some fish houses are so unique and
idiosyncratic that they may be identified as “folk art on ice.”
from the essay by Arnold Alanen
128 pages soft cover ~
10" x 8 1/2" ~ full color with over 200 photographs featuring fish houses, fishing contests, winter activities, a fish house
parade, and much more!
