Best 1 man fish house

[Kyle Sandberg]

So what would you recomend. Input greatly appreciated.

i have the clam 2000, i love it, its perfect for one guy if fishing 2 holes, im usually jigging in one hole while watching a bobber or deadstick in the other hole, but its also big enough to have 2 guys inside if u each only fish one hole and watch tip ups through the windows, another reason i love it is its the only house that i have ever seen fit into the trunk of a mercury sable and only cost me $200, although i would love a flipover style house with a sled to haul gear, the clam 2000 was the best fit for me and i would recomend it for anyone that doesnt have a pickup

I have the Otter Lodge for a couple of good reasons. I usually fish alone, I love having tons of room to fish in and believe me, when you are in the Lodge alone, there is tons of room, yet it's easy to heat. It is also super fast and easy to set up alone. If you are going to fish with someone, you have the best 2-man house on the market also. So, when I was purchasing my Otter, I took everything into consideration including I didn't want to own 2 portable fish houses. The only drawback to the Otter Lodge is it's hard to pull by hand (loaded) through any amount of snow. I use a snowmobile or wheeler to pull it 90% of the time, so its a non-issue. I also like having the bigger sled to haul lots of gear with.

Hope this helps,

Justin

Otter Den - Small, light weight, still plenty of room, great for walking out, easy to heat

Kept looking into it and was looking into the sled type. How long and how wide should it be. Looking for something under 300 dollhairs.

I own a Fish Trap Scout. It weighs less than 50 pounds and will fit easily in the back of station wagons or hatchbacks. I bought mine on sale last season for 159.00. I'm about 6'2" and 200 pounds...if I was any larger I would definitely buy a bigger house. But if you are my size or smaller, I don't think you can go wrong with the Scout in terms of quality with price.

I have been very pleased with my eskimo quickflip sport. All the gear fits in the sled nicely

Check out the new X-Trap by Clam. Tough sled and the toughest tent out there right now.

My vote is for the Fish Trap Pro... In my mind it is definately the best 1 man flip over out there. Having enough room for yourself and gear along with being light enough to tow by hand or by being rugged enough to tow behind a snowmobile or ATV. I have put my Pro through some abuse and it is still going strong!!!

I'll put another vote in for the Fish Trap Pro! I have been waiting for a long time to finally get one. I have sat in these houses and they are big enough to move around in. The Scout is still a good option as well except there is a little less Ice space for the heater, locator, etc. My good friend has the Scout and loves it for hole hopping. I have fished out of it and liked it fine but I'd still go with the Pro.

Good luck,

I would go with the Otter Den. These houses are just great.Tubs are 100% virtually indestructable polyethylene plastic, windows on all sides,extra long skirting,license and address holder. The outside pouch for address is very nice and not all houses have this option. The square tubing is also very strong and slides smoothly. This whole unit comes in at a very light 43 pounds.

I have a 2-man and next year I will be getting this Otter Den just for the early as as it will be light and very easy to pull on the first ice. Its hard for a guy to pull out the bigger houses unless you are built like a plow horse. Once I can use my wheeler or truck, then I love the bigger one.

Whatever you buy, have fun and enjoy.

Thank you for all the replys. I ended up getting a Fish Trap Pro at Cabeals. Last years model but is still nice. If your looking for one they're on sale for 200$. They're going fast.

Good Fishing
