Max Alfiero, left and his brother Nick Alfiero both of Standish drill holes for ice fishing on Moose Pond in Bridgton near their friend John Daggett's pop-up ice fishing shack. The pop-up shacks have sprung up - so to speak- on lakes across Maine. They're made of thick, ice-proof, wind-proof polyester, weigh 30 to 70 pounds, cost $150 - $750, retain heat from a portable heater and are very portable. Staff photo by Shawn Patrick Ouellette

Marc Baker of Naples, left and Matthew Levensalor of Wilton brag that Baker's pop-up ice fishing shack can reach 95 degrees with the help of a portable heater. But their favorite feature of the pop-up is convenience. Using their pop-ups, the two have fished Chamberlain Lake in the North Maine Woods, Moosehead Lake, and the Sebago region.

Brenda Day fishes through a hole in her traditional ice fishing shack on Long Lake in Naples. Her husband, Brad, built the 10-by-7-foot wooden shack last year. It's their fourth ice shack and he put a lot of thought into how to build it. "I'm old school. I enjoy it here," Brad Day says.
