An ice fishing hole cover comprising:
- a cover body having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an edge surface surround said cover body;
- a fishing line access extending through said cover body from said top surface to said bottom surface for receiving a fishing line therethrough, said fishing line access having a size sufficiently small to prevent keys and cell phones from passing therethrough;
- a fishing line removal guide extending from said fishing line access to said edge surface of said cover body to permit removal of said cover body from an ice fishing hole without disturbing a fishing line extending therethrough;
- and
- a set of finger accessible vent holes, said set of vent holes sized for allowing air movement through said cover body to help prevent said ice hole from freezing or closing up while allowing a user's finger to extend therethrough to enable the gripping support of said cover body.
