I'm not in BC, but it seems a lot of places don't get the ice they used to, especially farther south. I'm in IL, in what I would call marginal ice territory along the very southern edge of the ice belt, and it has trended more and more toward marginal over the past 10 years.
We still get a good year once in a while (2019 was a great season around here) but a lot of years it is "if" we get ice, not "when" we get ice now. I wouldn't be surprised if getting fishable ice became the exception instead of the rule in the next 20 years or so.
