ABSTRACT:
A thermoformed plastic base has a collapsible frame which supports a flexible fabric covering which defines an ice fishing enclosure. A first brace extends frontwardly from the base and surrounds an ice fishing hole and engages against the lower edge of the flexible covering. A second brace is engaged with the first brace and extend frontwardly and upwardly from the base to engage against the flexible covering above the first brace. The engaged segments of the first and second braces restrict portion of the flexible covering from deflection toward the base and thereby define a volume adjacent the enclosed space above the ice fishing hole which is protected from interference from the flexible covering. An angler may jig a fishing rod in the defined volume without the wind blowing the flexible covering into conflict with the rod. The base preferably has a hook and a pin mounted on opposite sides for connection of two like shelters. Doors in the adjacent flaps of engaged shelters may be opened to provide communication between the shelters. The flexible covering preferably has a hem which is weighted to surround the ice fishing region and prevent wind infiltration into the enclosure.
