A fish attracting assembly includes a tree that is positionable between a collapsed position and a deployed position. The tree is may be inserted through an ice fishing hole when the tree is positioned in the collapsed position. The tree is substantially comprised of a buoyant material. Thus, the tree is positioned in the deployed position when the tree is inserted through the ice fishing hole. A camera is coupled to the tree and the camera captures images below the ice fishing hole. A light emitter is coupled to the tree and the light emitter emits light below the ice fishing hole.

Disclosed is an ice hole liner with a handle. The liner is placed in an ice hole during freezing conditions with the outer wall of the liner contacting the inner wall of the ice hole. When the surface of the ice hole freezes the liner is pulled out of the frozen ice hole which clears the hole of ice. The liner also serves as a stable base to which fishing devices and rod holders can be attached so a fish can't pull them down the ice hole.

The present invention provides an ice fishing hole chamferer 10 with an elongated shaft 20 for inserting into an ice fishing hole 160 having a top end 60 and a submerged end 30 with an axle 40 and an axis 50, and a propeller 90 having a cutter side 96 with at least one cutter 94 and a thrust side 98 configured for propelling water, said propeller having a hub 80 for connecting to the axle and at least two radiating propeller blades 92, wherein the propeller blades are hinged to the hub to move between a narrow closed position less than the diameter of the ice fishing hole 160 and situated along the axis of the elongated shaft and an extended open position greater than the diameter of the ice fishing hole and angled for chamfering the bottom 162 of the ice fishing hole at a chamfering angle 128, and a propelling means 70, 110, 100 for rotating the propeller, wherein the propeller revolves about the axis and the propeller blades are configured to centrifugally extend to the extended open position and thrust upwardly to engage the at least one cutter against the bottom 162 of the ice fishing hole when the propelling means is activated. The invention also provides a method for using an ice fishing hole chamferer 10 by drilling an ice fishing hole 160, inserting the ice fishing hole chamferer into the hole, rotating the elongated shaft 20 of the chamferer to revolve a collapsible propeller 90 around the axis 50 and centrifugally extend the collapsible propeller from a narrow closed position to an extended open position angled for chamfering the bottom of the ice fishing hole 162.

This present invention relates to an ice fishing hole cover. The cover features a hinged door attached to the cover through mechanical attachments. The ice fishing hole cover includes a fishing line hole to allow a user to setup a fishing bait line through the cover. The hinged door enables the user to open a portion of the cover, and not the entire cover, to set up the fishing bait line or to access and land a fish caught while ice fishing. The ice fishing hole cover enhances the overall ice fishing experience of the users and eliminates the inconvenience of maintaining an open ice hole while fishing.

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward a fishing rod holder that includes a mounting portion configured to mount to a portion of a support structure and extend the fishing rod holder outwardly from the support structure. The fishing rod holder may also include a first rod holding portion including a first linear section extending away from the mounting portion and a curved portion at an end of the first linear section configured to at least partially surround a portion of a fishing rod. The fishing rod holder also may include a line release portion configured to releasably mount to a bottom surface of the first rod holding portion, and apply tension to the fishing line.

A stowable and deployable shelter may include a frame structure with a first support arch pivotably attached to a base at a pair of pivot points, and a second support arch pivotably attached to the first support arch via a pair of slidable hinges. The slidable hinges are positioned to translate along the first support arch toward and away from the pair of pivot points. In some embodiments, at least one of the slidable hinges comprises a locking mechanism for releasably locking the at least one slidable hinge at a selected location along the first support arch. In some embodiments, the hinges may be fixed instead of being slidable. The support arches support a fabric shell to form an interior of the shelter. The base may include a sled container having runners for sliding through snow or across terrain.
