Pimp my shack: Luxury ice fishing a growing trend in Alberta
 If your idea of ice fishing involves some poor soul shivering away on the frozen surface of a remote lake, you might be in for a shock.

Demand for a more comfortable experience has prompted several Alberta companies to start renting shacks that rival high-end campers in the amenities they offer.

"We've put out some man-cave ice fishing shacks," said Nathan Piche, owner of Stony Plain, Alta.-based company Dokcyde.

This is the first winter for the Stony Plain based business, which Piche bills as "an experiential rec [recreation] and social company."
 

PIche's goal, in addition to making money, is to make it easier and more enticing for people to get outside and enjoy what winter has to offer in Alberta.

Piche's luxurious shacks, which he puts on Wabamun Lake, are the biggest factor in achieving that.
