Is Wabamun lake still OK for boat fishing or already frozen up?

Wondering if Wabamun lake is still OK for boat fishing or already frozen up? Thanks.

This was LSA yesterday. There's about 100 yards or so of thin ice from every shoreline including the boat launch. You can plow through easily enough with a tin can if you went slow. I would imagine wabamun conditions are similar.
We pushed through with a zodiac inflatable yesterday but at sunset when it dipped below 0 it was pretty sketchy making it across the ice.

How badly do you want to fish?20231029_125012.jpg 20231027_170448.jpg

Thanks for the update. Sounds like time is best spent getting ready for ice fishing
