ABSTRACT:
An artificial fish habitat (10) comprises an open framework (12) including a plurality of layers (14). The layers (14) each include an open portion (20) and are generally aligned so that the open portions (20) cooperate to define a passageway (26) through the framework (12) for fish to reside therein. Each layer (14) includes a periphery section (18) which is formed from a material presenting a minimum cross section sized and configured to be greater than the gap spacing of a conventional fish hook such that the hook may not snag on the framework (12). A method of utilizing the partially submerged habitat (10) comprises descending a hook through the passageway (26) to contact a layer (14) and withdrawing the hook without snagging.
