Sorry to make this sound like an interrogation!
Early ice off we generally fish under indicators with balanced leeches and midges/chronis, and yes...slowly! Once the bows start getting shallow and frisky getting ready for the spawn, we will switch to egg patterns, but still always under indicators. We don't switch to more aggressive presentations until post-spawn.
