An ice fishing trap is provided to be suspended within an ice fishing hole such that once a fish has been pulled partway through the hole the fish will remain caught even if the fish is freed from the fishing line having initial ly caught the fish thereon. A collar is suspended within the ice fishing hole by a pair of support arms arranged to rest on a top side of the sheet of ice in which the ice fishing hole is bored. A plurality of gate members are pivotally mounted about a periphery o f the collar to extend radially inward therefrom. Each gate member is a wedge shap ed member having a blunt end positioned adjacent the centre of the opening of t he collar in the closed position. The blunt ends of the gate members are arrang ed to grip a fish therebetween as they are pivoted upward into an open position to grip the fish even if the fish is only pulled partway therethrough.
