Ice Fishing Tents Are Practical Shelters
from: Kyle BesserIce fishing doesn't require permanent ice fishing houses or even an ice fishing shanty. Simple, easy to set up and collapsible ice fishing tents may be just the option anglers are looking for. Ice fishing tents are different than camping tents. Although some fishermen do use traditional tents out on the ice, ice fishing tents are often not constructed in a suitable fashion to use for ice fishing.
It is important to consider several key factors before deciding on the best model of ice fishing tents to buy. Many ice fishing tents are designed for one or two people, with larger ice fishing tents available for four to six people. Typically ice fishing tents are either traditionally shaped or hexagonal in design, allowing for circular type seating around the fishing holes.
One drawback to most ice fishing tents is that the doors or flaps are on the end, which makes it difficult for fishermen to move in and out of the tent once others are seated. Another drawback to most ice fishing tents is the difficulties in heating the area, as the ice fishing heater is usually located on the opposite end of the ice fishing tent from the flap, which makes it harder to heat uniformly.
In smaller ice fishing tents having the ice fishing heater located on the opposite end of the ice fishing tent from the flap is not as much of an issue, but in larger four or six man ice fishing tents having the ice fishing heater located on the opposite end of the ice fishing tent from the flap can be a real concern.
Ice fishing tents need to be easy to collapse and erect out on the lake, especially in snowy or windy conditions. All in one collapsible fiberglass frames are ideal for ice fishing tents as they eliminate the need to connect the ice fishing tent poles and simply fold in on each other. This collapsible type frame eliminates the need to search for poles and parts in the snow on the lake, something that can be a huge problem in windy conditions when you are out on the flat surface of the ice.
Ice fishing tents need to have a strongly reinforced bottom. Typically the holes are preset in the ice fishing tents, with additional fasteners to keep unused holes closed. Pegs are needed to anchor the ice fishing tents to the ice, and more anchor tabs are better than fewer when it comes to securing ice fishing tents. Without the anchors, ice fishing tents will move about on the ice with the wind, even on relatively calm days.
For those anglers who enjoy spear fishing in winter months, it is important to ensure that the ice fishing tent is tall enough and has enough room to allow standing and movement. Hexagonal ice fishing tents are often considered the best for ice fishing. Most ice fishing tents fold down into backpack sized packages, complete with arm straps for easy transport. Larger ice fishing tents may be packed and moved on ice fishing sleds.
