I guess for me it is just a matter of what I enjoy the most, open water fishing or ice fishing. I ice fish because there is no open water, at least in my general area in the Winter but if there was open water all Winter I doubt I would ice fish at all. Driving to Bear lake or the Gorge is just too far, especially in the Winter and forget about Powell, way, way too far. I never put my boat way until Willard has froze but in most years that is usually in Dec.
