The fact that ice floats means that the lake probably will not freeze solid all the way down. There will still be liquid water at the bottom of the lake where the fish can stay alive all winter.
The ice that covers a lake actually insulates the deeper water preventing it from freezing too, this allows fish to continue to swim and feed during the winter.

The density of ice is lower than the density of water and this is helpful in the way that ice floats on water and water stays beneath this ice. This ice acts an insulation for the aquatic animals as the cool air does not sinks inside the lakes creating problems for the animals as they cannot survive in a colder conditions. The ice prevents the lake water from freezing temperature which will eventually kill the organism inside it.

Keeps the fish warm in the winter~apex
i got the same question. im guessing its because in the winter that ice is protecting the fish from the cold above. under the ice is warmer than outside.
