Abstract
A fishing and viewing device for ice fishing which permits an ice fisherman to view his bait and line through a hole cut in the ice. The device is positioned above the hole in the ice while a cylindrical insert is positioned in the ice fishing hole in the ice. The flanged upper end of the cylindrical tube can be readily connected to and disconnected from the upper viewing and angling access unit.
Claims4
A device for viewing objects in water located below a hole in a layer of ice covering a body of water, said device comprising:
- a housing portion having a base for engaging the ice around said hole, a viewing port and a lower port, said viewing port and lower port located along a substantially vertical sight line through said housing portion;
- and
- a substantially opaque tubular member, open at both ends, connected to said lower port and extending below the base of said housing, the substantially vertical sight line of said housing portion passing through said tubular member, and said tubular member being of sufficient length that at least a portion of said tubular member may be extended through said hole in the ice covering said body of water to minimize the amount of stray light impinging upon the optical path along said vertical sight line.
