Ice hole wraps configured to be positioned in a floor of an ice shelter are provided, such as an ice hole wrap that includes a first circular end, a second circular end, a cylindrical wall extending between the first and second ends, and a height extending between the first and second circular ends. The wall is foldable between a first configuration in which the cylinder has a first height between the first and second circular ends, and a second configuration in which the cylinder has a second height between the first and second circular ends.

A fish strike signaling assembly for alerting a user to a fish strike includes a tip-up that catches fish. A lighting unit is coupled to the tip-up. The lighting unit emits a visible light when the tip-up is triggered. A power supply is electrically coupled to the lighting unit. A power button is electrically coupled to the power supply and is actuated to an on position to provide power to the lighting unit

An ice fishing reel support and covering system includes a sleeve having a perimeter wall including an upper edge and a lower edge. The sleeve is positionable in and forms a liner for the ice fishing hole. A reel mount is attached to and positioned in the sleeve. The reel mount is configured receives a fishing reel. The reel mount is adjustable to a first position wherein the reel mount and the fishing reel are each positioned below a plane of the upper edge and within an interior of the sleeve, or to a second position wherein the reel mount extends above the plane of the upper edge to position the fishing reel above the interior of the sleeve.

An artificial fishing lure has a stream-lined elongated body generally simulating a fish. The body has a cavity therein to receive a U-shaped member that is oriented to have two substantially parallel fins extending rearward outside of the body. The U-shaped member has a base and tab extending therefrom. The cavity is shaped to limit movement of the U-shaped member in an up and down rotational motion relative to the body. The body is formed from an upper body and a lower body. The U-shaped member is inserted into the cavity and the upper body and lower body are then affixed to one another. A method of constructing the lure is described.

The sleigh bed platform is intended for use in ice fishing for transport of equipment such as a tent shelter and sized to accommodate a single reclining person for rest on the ice. Sleigh bed invention is very light easy to pull across thin ice. Three laminated plastic layers with a inner component of expanded polystyrene form a rigid truss and thermal barrier that makes the sleigh bed a comfortable resting place. Expanded polystyrene is insulation and extremely buoyant providing a float in cases of breaking thru lake ice. Multiple soft rope handles secure loads with no sharp edges around the bed. A second invention use is for evacuation of injured skiers. Lightweight sleigh bed is easy to carry to an injured skier. A rigid front handle facilitates moving down hill with a passenger secured to the sleigh bed.
