Thanks for the update.
I went today and saw what you were talking about. With the wind, a lot more opened up throughout the day.
Scofield has enough open water to fish off the hump[s in the dam arm. One small open window at the dam near the spill. I broke some ice just off the hill by the dam on the north side.
There's a lot of open water around Fish Creek and the south end, but most is super shallow. Walking to the steep hillside would be the best bet around there. The other public access points along the south end are too shallow to do much, although there's plenty of room for a float.
Madsen Bay has some open water and people were reportedly doing alright there today for dinks and a 17inch brown (so says the CO that checked me). The fee kept me out.
The fishing in the dam arm was awful (two 15" tigers and a 13" rainbow, all skinny) and the wind was about 30-40mph and cold. Rain came later.
