april 3. i'm in the southern tier of ny.
this was several years ago, and it was on a small pond up in the hills.
i started that year in mid dec.
got to fish in 5 different months- hasn't been even close to that since
grandpa told me-"never wrestle with a pig. you both get muddy and the pig likes it".

There's still some fishable ice up here but it's fading fast.

late March a couple years ago. Last year was kind of wild - I went out for the last time on a Sunday and the following Friday I was golfing - nice warm spell.

Made it out til bout 2nd week in april, but I usually give up late march.
I usually start picking up more trip on the river in march for steel, or eyes before season closes.

Just outta curiousity when the ice roads are open are locals allowed on them  to drive out to ice fish?
