If Henry's freezes solid early and there are enough ice fishermen there might be a little damage done, but most years that won't happen. I bet the Memorial Day weekend crowd in 2006 did 10X the damage the ice fishermen did in 2006.
If it was open all winter to ice fishermen I think the fishery would be hurt by ice fishermen. Were Henry's is only open until the end of November I don't think ice fishing will result in any significant harvest. It is a big lake with a lot of fish.
