Default Cattle Landing

I'll be coming up early Friday morning expecting to make my trek from Cattle Landing to Mink Island. I'll post a report then. I'll be cutting holes as I go so will have good "boots on the ground" (but not in the water) intel for everyone.

Cattle Landing always deserves extra caution as the ice eaters often open things up a lot through there and it's common to have a pressure ridge to deal with as well. Nice to not have snowcover right now.

If you are looking for ice scratchers for your boots, I HIGHLY recommend the Kahtoola Microspikes -- available at REI. They pull on/off easily and provide excellent traction on glare ice. Way better than Yaktrax.
