Winter — no bite score
Our bite model is built for open water, and this date falls in Evelyn Lake's winter. We're not showing a score rather than dressing up a number we don't trust.
Still good all winter: solunar major and minor windows, moon phase and moonrise/moonset — these are astronomical — plus the lake's depth contours and structure, which don't change with the ice.
Doesn't apply under ice: wind response (a wind band means little on ice and nothing in a shelter), the surface-light read (it models cloud cover, not light through ice and snow), and the estimated water temperature (it bottoms out at 32°F, which is true and tells you nothing).
Ice season — measured temperature record
Ice season is the season here, not the off-season, so instead of a bite score Evelyn Lake gets the one thing a weather record can honestly say: how much freezing has actually stacked up, and when it last let go.
We do not tell you whether the ice is safe
We do not estimate ice thickness and we make no judgement about whether this lake is safe to walk, drive or fish on. Nothing on this page is an ice-safety determination. The only reliable measurement is the one you take yourself, repeatedly, as you go out.
No state agency we know of measures ice thickness, so there is no official reading to look up either. Check your state's natural-resources agency for ice-safety guidance, ask locally before you go, and verify the ice on foot.
We do not yet hold 14 well-covered days of station temperatures for this lake's nearest station. A freezing-degree-day total backed by a handful of days is not a smaller version of a real one — it is a misleading one — so we are not showing it.
