Many times during ice-off at Fish Lake the Sevier County Sheriff's dept. will close the lake to boats (including float tubes). They do this because of the many problems boaters have had in the past getting trapped by moving ice. If you can get out on the lake, i would suggest jigging the weed lines. This is a very good time of year to pick up lot's of nice Splake.
If you really want to get out in the tube, there are a couple other lakes in the area that should provide some excellent fly-fishing opportunities. Forsythe and Mill Meadow are both open water, and both would be an excellent choice. Another hot ticket right now is Koosharem. The cutthroat in Koosharem are in excellent shape (18" neighborhood).
