[quote Ouzel]Stirring the pot [
].Likely too much to ask to let ice fishermen have 3-1/2 months to pursue their interest, when the fly fishermen and leech and hardware draggers have 5-1/2 to pursue theirs? Given that the lake goes hard by 15-Nov?
Maybe they are jealous that we can drag a sleigh by foot or snowbuggy to our fishing spots and they have to go by boat or rubber duckie?
FWIW, I have fished Henry's open water only a handful of times over the years, but the ice allows me to take Grandkids to a lake easily accessed with small ones and give the opportunity for them to learn to jig and catch fish.
I don't agree with opening it year round, but until the end of February would be nice.
This opinion and a $1, will get you a cup of coffee some places.

And use 5 poles at one time[

Thing is, it USE to be a Blue Water fishery. Not meant for the barbie pole, that was what Island Park was for.
It was a Technical lake that drew people from all over the world. Not a put and take.
But, greed has changed it forever.
