A Foley, Minn., man who has built hundreds of fish houses is getting some weird looks concerning his latest creation -- especially when it gets up and walks across Lake Julia.
Dave Novak designed a fish house that can be moved with the angler still inside.
The 60-pound structure is 42 inches wide by 60 inches long and allows the user to move between fishing holes without tearing down and setting up a collapsible house.
A partial floor inside has enough space for a small heater and two buckets to hold gear and fish. And windows give the fisherman a view of the terrain as he moves the hut.
Novak says he's gotten some weird looks from people who see his fish house moving.
He says the only disadvantage is that the more fish you catch, the heavier the house gets to carry.
