Historically CJ Strike rarely freezes over completely through the entire winter. They'll get ice in the narrows and on the upper end but the main body of the lake usually doesn't ever freeze over. The fishing for warm water species does slow down during the winter but there are plenty of trout that will remain active through the winter months. Some of the best fishing experiences I've had while catching trout at CJ were in February and we were trolling. The only thing is that it can get pretty windy there at any time so be prepared for that.
