Are ice fishing tents waterproof?

Most ice fishing hubs are waterproof. You can check your fishing hut but simply

dumping water directly on it. The water should bead off. If the water soaks in, your 

ice fishing shanty is not waterproof.

You can buy treatment products to apply your shanty if it is not waterproof. 


The

advantages of using an waterproof ice fishing hub is that it will protect you from the 

fierce cold blowing winds. They also protect you from hard rains and snowy blizzards. 

Fishing from inside an ice house gives you an advantage over other anglers not using 

an ice fishing shelter. When inside and zipped up, your ice house environment will

will stay comfortable and warm. Even if you don't use some type of heater warmer. 

Keeping yourself warm during an ice fishing outage is one of the keys 

to catching more fish faster.

Ice Fishing Walleye?

 Walleye are nocturnal fish, mostly feeding in the dawn of morning and dusk of night. Getting out on the ice at these times can be dangerous. Never ice fish alone and always bring a test spud.  Types of baits that can be used are small pencil plugs, spinners, jig heads even spoons. I typically like to use live bait on jig heads or spoons. I find that using just the minnow head works best for catching walleye. Using a dead stick with just a small plug helps with luring the walleye in. While using your main rod jigging bouncing the bait off the bottom slowly is usually the best technique.  The best walleye to keep and eat are around 15 to 17 inches. B efore heading out and doing any fishing, please  check with local DNR for walleye regulations and fishing reports in your area. Good luck, bundle up and stay safe out there on the ice.
