What is the name of the lake in the Sandhills that’s only open to ice fishing?

Couple of them that I know of.

Smith & Crane Lakes on the Crescent Lake Refuge are only open to fishing from Nov 1 until Feb 15.

Hudson Lake North of the Valentine Refuge is on private ground and only open to ice fishing.

Use to be a few small private sandpits in the Ainsworth area but don't know if those are still an option.

There is an excellent publication on Sandhills fishing at this link.
It lists some of the lakes that are ice fishing only.
