The ice year at Fraser Lake, modelled

Modelled from air temperature, not an ice report. It says nothing about whether ice will hold you.

The model treats Fraser Lake as too large and deep to freeze over, so it gives no freeze-up or ice-off dates. On air temperature alone it would have frozen in 65 of 65 winters since 1960.

Fraser Lake is open to ice fishing under the regulations on file.

Whether a lake is open to ice fishing says nothing about whether its ice will hold you. Ice conditions vary year to year and across a single lake. Check locally before going out, every time.

Fraser Lake climate, 1960 to 2025

Averaged over a year, the air above Fraser Lake is 0.9 C warmer than it was in the 1960s. That is 66 years of daily readings, not a forecast.
