Ice Fishing Shelters – 4 Varieties To Choose From
When you’re out on the open ice, an ice fishing shelter is a necessity to during the longer periods of waiting for that catch. Anglers are protected from the bitter cold of the winter winds, and also from the sun’s glare. The shelter allows for more comfort from the small amount of heat that you get inside, and also keeps the ice fishing hole open for longer before it ices over again.
The ice fishing shelter can be easily moved as it is portable, although you can get an ice fishing house which is a more permanent structure that is built for the mainstay of the fishing season. There are many ice fishing enthusiasts who use the convenience of the shelters so that they can move around to where the fish are, and the more permanent fishing house helps for those colder days out there on the frozen lake.
On today’s market there is a quite a selection of ice fishing shelters to be found. The designs are usually easily collapsible so they can be moved and are made up like a tent in structure, very light in weight so that they can be compacted to fit easily into packages or a bag. Styles are varied, with a basic constuction is about the same for each fishing shelter:
1. ATV mounted – there has been a huge rise in ATVs (All Terrrain Vehicles) as they move easier across a lake to travel from the parking area to where the ice, which is whey there is an ATV mounted design. They are designed as either to extend from the storage bags that are mounted on the ATV, or so that they can be lifted or pulled onto the ATV by using dollies or lifts.
2. Flip Up/Flipover – These type of shelters have a semi-rigid bottom, which looks like a tub, that acts like a base of a sled so that it is easier to move, and this is the floor of the shelter when it is put up. The tub is useful for storing and transporting the ice auger, the tackle and any other gear that is needed. The sides with the canvas are just flipped over or up so the sides and the roof can be constructed in an ideal location. For storage, the frame just collapses down with the canvas folded down to be moved again. There are flipover styles that can hold up to four anglers and designed so that there is space for portable heaters and also to allow for more natural light, some clear plastic or vinyl windows.
3. Folding shelters – this is a traditional style tent for ice fishing, that is lightweight and is easily moved. Due to their lightness in weight, they may not cope with adverse, cold weather conditions and high winds. Most are small so aren’t really made for standing in, although you can be larger versions.
4. Homemade shelters – you can make homemade shelters which can be more effective than the products that are commercially available. They are usually like the styles of the flipover or flip up shelters, or of structures that are fully collapsible tents. If you take a look on the internet you can find plans on how to make an ice fishing shelter that is low in cost and easy to make in your own home.
