Fish Trap Guide

[cRaPpiEMaN8265]

for the people who have these how do you like them? i wasa thinking of asking my parents for one on christmas because they are at a reasonable price as of now($299 at gander) I could probably get them to get me the voyager but dont know if i need something that big. I wouldnt get the yukon either because it is in between and i either want a 2 man or a 3 man not a "big" 2 man for 100 dollars less than the 3 man, that just wouldnt make sense. I fish with one of my buddies a lot and i think a 2 man like this would be nice... What are your thought? any other recomended houses?

Thanks in advance

I owned one for a couple of years and it was just fine for fishing one person comfortably. One thing I did not care for was that it was not a very tall house. You put two people in there, a flasher, a camera, and you have got yourself a dicey situation trying to get back out the door slouched down. I guess I would go with the Yukon if that is an option.

Thanks for the advice Reynolds i wouldnt get the yukon i dont think though i would just get the vayager if i was going to get something in the 500 dollar range!

Thanks for the advice

My wife and I have the guide and really like it. Reynolds is right about the size of the house. It is not too bad to for sitting in, and it is easier to heat, but like he said, once you get a few pieces of equipment in there, it makes for a tough exit. Another thing too, the guide will only zip up to another guide or the 2000, so if you want to use the traplink, the yukon or voyager can be more advantageous. I do like the guide for how lite it is and Ii can toss it in the back of my truck with everything but the auger in the sled. Good luck!

I got the Fish Trap Pro last year and love it. If you are just one person going out alone its perfect. Light enough for one person to get in and out of a vehicle and trail nicely and easliy behind a wheeler or sled. Its very moble and fast and easy to set up. If you are a hole hopper I would definitly suggest the Fish Trap Pro

I bought a Fish Trap Pro last year also and I agree that that it is a awesome house for 1 person. It's light for pulling by hand and plenty of room for all you electronic's and and heater. Very happy with this purchase.

Depends how tall you are, or how big. I bought the Yukon because it was significantly taller. I am over 6'. Most of the guys I go with are also over 6'. I used to have a shack that didn't allow me to stand. It was a real pain. The difference between the Yukon and the Voyageur for me was weight and dimensions. I wasn't sure I could fit the Voyageur in the back of my truck. As it would have turned out, there would have been no way. Nothing wrong with any of Clamcorp's shacks. I would like a smaller one when it is just me, but that height is still important.

I have a Guide that is over 8 years old and I really like it. It has the old sliding benches so I can get my auger to lay down on the sled nicely. It has more floor space for gear and stuff and is still light enough for me to throw into the back of my truck. I usually bring this house out if I am bringing multiple kids with me so they can fish together.

I also have a Fish Trap Pro and Scout that I like for hole hopping. They are a bit lighter and easier to throw around. Cole likes to use the Scout by himself. It doesn't have poles to extend so it's easy for him to use.

I am a big fan of their houses and if I had to buy another to use for taking more people out I'd probably get the Yukon.

Good luck,

I'm only 5'5 so it works perfect for me, but your right about if your tall it may be a problem. I would have to much of a problem pulling a 2 man house with all my gear. I don't a have a atv or snowmobile and if there is any snow on the ice this can cause alot of problems pulling all that weight by hand.

[prov1900]

Good call on the weight thing. I forgot to mention that as well. The Yukon is about the max that I would want to pull by hand/or lift in/out of the truck. I don't have a snowmobile or atv either. That Yukon is a lot of work.

[cRaPpiEMaN8265]

yea weight and size is not a big deal to me... i have the scout when i need to walk out as well as the pak shack now and love them. With the voyager/guide i would be pulling it behind my snowmobile since we have our cabin on the lake i wouls fish mostly and other lakes are basically attached. So the towing would not be a big problem. What i am worried about now that you mention it is my friends and i are about 6' tall and we all have a lot of electronics and stuff to stache in there. I alone have a aqua vu camara, a marcum vx-1 and a big buddy heater. This would probably be to much stff to ft in there since my friends would have a vexilar also. i manage to fit all my stuff in the scout but i dont know if i could fit 2x that into the guide. thanks for the help! i will probably ask for the voyager
