Lake Fishing around 100 Mile House

Given that this has been a long winter, is ice fishing still a viable option in April? Would the ice still be safe to walk on?

I've had my snowmobile out on the ice in early May before but it all depends on the year and the elevation of the lake. (this was at 4600')

Lots of ice still on the lakes as of a couple weeks ago when I was fishing on Bob lake. Might be a wile yet before ice off.
( fishing was slow on Bob)

Dakota, Ice can be effing dangerous in March, depending on elevation (among other things) As a general rule, if it's melted out along the shore, it's getting dangerous. I lost 2 friends through the ice near Kamloops a few years ago. Safe in the morning, returning in the afternoon, it had softened too much and they both perished in about 8 feet of water less than 50 feet from shore.
A tragic loss.
