ice fishing hole

Winter angler's portal

A hole cut through the ice on a frozen lake or river to allow fishing.

Ice anglers drill or chop these openings, typically six to ten inches across, and drop lines through them: We set up around a few ice fishing holes and waited for walleye to bite.

Also called simply a hole when context is clear.
