Just because they freeze don't make it safe and truly depends on the year.   I ice fished Lml Nov 8th.   But most of the lake was wide open.   And alot of people would hit me upside the head for being out on the ice I was on.     Normally though by dec1 most stuff is locked. It's the crazy's who make it out before that.   Being 10 ft away from open water isn't for the faint at heart

Main lake on Diefenbaker is usually around Christmas time, some coulees/coteau bay would be sooner...
