Ice Fishing in Central Iowa...
...can be tricky
Could be 3 months, or maybe just 1.
We've seen 24 inches of ice on Big Creek - & we've seen it go from 14 inches to 0 in 2 weeks.

Any hobby takes investment.
Skill, time, - & money.
Sometimes there isn't enough time on ice to warrant the hundreds - or thousands! - of dollars of investment into equipment.
Or the space to store those items for 9 months of the year!

A damage & corresponding fix fee will be listed on the rental product page.
A deposit fee hold relative to the items you have rented will be held by us during the rental period. If items are returned undamaged, and on time, the deposit will be refunded to you at the end of the rental period. This may take several days to reflect in your account depending on bank, processor, or other factors.
The deposit is held as a security to ensure items are returned in a similar condition they left in. If the renter damages items beyond the deposit fee, they will be charged for additional fees.
