     Ice fishing is in full swing on Delavan Lake with huts, pails, and shanties filling the frozen water.  Above the shivering sportsmen, on the north west end of the lake, is perched the Ice Fisherman's Hide Out.      After climbing the pyramid-like steps, a cozy two-bedroom escape waits to warm the weary with its natural fireplace, wood floors and incredible views.      The rustic lake home features many window to take in the scenery, an expansive front deck for entertaining and a back patio for privacy.  Listed at $329,000 the property also includes a boat slip for use in the summer months and plenty of parking at the foot of the property.
