“They” wouldn’t.
You’d be walking out or calling SAR for a helicopter.
Twist and pull.
If it’s a big lake I wouldn’t worry. Urs has been flying that country a long, long time and can provide you good guidance. I’ve seen it change from early fall to mid winter conditions up there, literally overnight while sheep hunting.
In fact it wasn’t overnight. It was mid stalk on some rams.
-25°C and over 2’ of snow turned our sheep hunt into a moose hunt.

Twist and pull.
According to the data for Fort Nelson, the average low temps first week of October at 1500ft are 0 to -1 Celsius.
It is quite unlikely the lake would freeze.
Would take an extended cold period to do so.
No way in hell you would ever "walk out".
Best bet is to take some form of communication - just in case.
Chopper would be the only way unless you could hunker long enough for the lake to freeze hard enough to support a bird on skis...
Going to be watching hard for your report!
Will be a rather worthwhile expedition and read of your adventures!
Best of Luck!!

Thanks Nog, I would rather shoot myself than hike out of there in the winter.
Definitely very exciting - just hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. My daughter is going to make the video - hopefully not one that ends like Grizzly Man. A couple of experienced members are being generous with their experience in the drainage.
3 of us Flew into Johia Lake with Urs and went 3 for 3 on caribou do not remember seeing another hunter
