I've tried this 4 times and after 2-3 hours I screw up and kill everything that I did, so here I go again.

It's a 14 hour drive from my house to Davin lake and the trip is worth the drive just to see some new stuff.

Went up the pink river 8 miles and Donny caught the first fish. A little 14" northern and while he was pulling it in this grabbed a hold and didn't let go

Don't get Rory our guide mad as I watched him pick up a 100lb propane tank over one shoulder and put a cooler that weighed about the same on the other shoulder and walk across the portage.

Nice lakers and nice pike.................................man, I love pike fishing.  :biggrin:

Beautiful scenery for sure.  Thanks for sharing.    :congrats: 

That fish frying in the pan made me hungry.   :wink:

Very nice.  Thanks for the pictures.

Pat

Thanks for the pics.....looks like an awsome time!!! :yoyo:

Looks like you had a great trip. Those are some nice fish. Especially the walleye. :yoyo:

WOW, well I'm sure glad you got the pic thing figured out. Awesome pics to say the least. And if you run into trouble next time gimme a shout.

Looks like everyone had fun, one question though. They let you fish in your Bermuda's up there? :laf: :eyebrow: You been walking around the boat in your underwear all day so now the kid is doing it on the porch of the cabin :laf:

I woulda liked to have seen that plane land in the water.
Good stuff  :yoyo: thanks for sharing them seriously. :wink:

When I first saw that pic I thought you had taken Jim with you.  :roflmao: :roflmao:
Looks like a great time, the kind some of us can only wish for.  :bowingsmilie:

I agree. I have never been on an adventure like that in such beautiful country that makes me want to go.

Man thanks for sharing the story and pics  :highclap: This thread makes me want to go somewhere like that so bad. If I ever get to do something like that I will pack some extra Bermuda's. :laf:

If you compare fishing to hunting the price is about  1/4 as much.  There are a lot of lakes up there and you do not need to have a guide but it was sure nice this time.  Wathaman lake is about 80-100 square miles in size and has aound 800 miles of shoreline. 

Great story and pictures.  Looks like everyone had a wonderful time!

Jim

Great pics !!
Looks like a nice place, caught a lot of nice fish, everybody looks like they had a good time, great trip all around.
Can't ask for much more then that.  :yoyo:
Thanks for sharin it with us.  :congrats:

WOW.  Thanks for the vacation. I feel like I was there.  The only bad part was that the fish didn't have much taste as I licked the screen.  After looking at the road I can understand why some people would want to fly in rather than drive.  But they missed the views on the trip - looking down is not the same as looking around.
