The lake is still capped as of Sunday. The ice cap theory depends on how you want your fishing. If the cap comes off right before opening day like last year. The cutts are jammed up in a few holes. The fishing is shoulder to shoulder and the fish do not fight really hard because they are spawners.
If the ice comes off earlier the fish disperse more throughout the lake and seem to get back to fighting shape earlier. I guess it depends on if you can stand combat fishing or not. I had a blast last year with my kids. They all were able to fight big cutts near shore.
