ABSTRACT:
A signalling device for use when ice fishing which includes a flag that is retained in a generally horizontal retracted position when the device is set for use and moved to an upright signalling position when the fish takes the hook and pulls fishing line from a reel. The device also includes a frame supported on the ice in transverse relation to an ice hole in which the frame includes a unique structure which enables it to be easily lifted from the ice even if it is placed on the ice surface when the surface is somewhat slushy and becomes frozen to the ice thereby facilitating the fisherman pulling out a fish or removal of the device when it is desired to leave the fishing area. The reel on which the fishing line is mounted includes a guide having unique structure enabling the fishing line to be easily associated therewith and a drive shaft and tripping arm arrangement at the upper end thereof releasably engaging a spring biased flag wire or mast for releasing the flag for movement from its retracted position to its signalling position.
