I don't know about North and South Carolina or West Virgina, but I would assume that are open all year long.

Location: Athens, Ohio		http://www.wncmuskieclub.com/ for info on North Carolina. Cave Run usually has open water year round, remember the glory run GregM made there a few years ago.
No one mentioned Ohio, probably the 'somewhat comfortable' qualifier you used. There are years we've had open water in the lakes, other years not. West Virginia streams are usually open. m

Location: Ogden, Ut		Regarding Pineview...it has an open season year - round, but not open water. We do get about 2-3 months of ice cover each winter.

Come down to IL and fish some of the streams if you don't want to travel to Kinkaid.
