End of season...
Given that we had another late ice-in this season, and with the current warm-up, I’m off the ice for the season. I’m sure there are some who will still venture out — like the regulars who ice fish off the Indian head rock at Camp Lawrence who are out there again today on an ATV — but the risks are increasing and conditions deteriorate quickly and the ice loses strength with warm weather. To me, Cattle Landing has always been a winter version of the Witches. You really need to know what you’re doing if you’re passing through that area - especially on the edges of the winter season. I’ve had to jump across two foot gaps in the ice plates there in March on foot.... I’ve portaged over Dolly Island to avoid walking through there altogether when things looked sketchy. Let’s be careful out there....
