A fish retainer for ice fishing includes a base and an elongate member depending from the base. The elongate member has a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis. A fish retaining gate is asymmetrically mounted to the second end. The elongate member is mounted for rotation about the longitudinal axis. The rotation of the elongate member to a first rotational position positions the fish retaining gate in a non-obstructing position. The rotation of the elongate member to a second rotational position positions the fish retaining gate in an obstructing position. A spring urges the elongate member toward the second rotational position. A locking mechanism locks the elongate member in the first rotational position. Upon the locking mechanism being released, the elongate member is urged by the spring to the second rotational position in which the fish retaining gate is in the obstructing position.
