Rattlesnake may be an option for you medhatken, ice in the shallower bays shud be decent as long as a guy has the safety gear and a partner and doesnt venture out to far. Ive seen up to 10 inches of ice on some of the southern alberta reservoirs recently this winter, also seen it vary on a few lakes from 4 - 8 inches within 20 feet of each hole. Be careful if u do head out!

I fished by the dam on the south end last Tuesday. Ice was 4.5". Was open water near the marina. Fishing was slow. Rattlesnake had 8 inches of ice a long time ago. Should be no issue there ice wise, good luck with the fish though
