ABSTRACT:
A portable ice fishing enclosure includes a flexible covering cooperatively engaged with a frame, and secured to an ice surface using a plurality of threaded anchor stakes. The frame may include a plurality of sub-frames, each of which includes a central hub and a plurality of semi-rigid poles extending radially outwardly from the central hub. The lower edge of the covering includes a skirt portion having reinforced through holes at outer edges thereof, which receive the anchor stakes therein. Ends of the skirt portions extend beyond the edges of side walls of the covering, so that the skirt portion ends may be placed in an aligned overlapping configuration. A kit is described for providing components of the enclosure, and a method of assembling the enclosure is described. The portable ice fishing enclosure is lightweight, easily assembled and disassembled, and constructed to withstand, and provide protection from, the harsh winter environment.
