Last fishing trip {pics}

[pitw]

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.

5 hours on this road


saw this coming into one of the lakes along the way


You cross the Churchill river and kids[not mine] jump in up at the top here.


and come out way down there.  Some actually miss the landing zone and have a long swim in from the lake.

5 hours from civilization and power there was this


Got to the lake and this is what greeted us.


The dock at Davin


The boys couldn't wait to get on the lake so


This was home for 5 nights


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

he got to let the little guy go saying "I saved his life" 

Here are some of every body with a fish or two.













Even the wife out fished me by catching this walleye under the boat in 6 feet of water while I'm chasing northerns


Lake trout


Shore lunch

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.



Don't play with fire


Quite a difference

Beautiful scenery for sure.  Thanks for sharing.     

That fish frying in the pan made me hungry.

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

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? You been walking around the boat in your underwear all day so now the kid is doing it on the porch of the cabin

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

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.

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  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.

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.

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. 
Thanks for sharin it with us.

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.
