Once again the festive season has arrived.  Irvin and I would like to wish each and everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
There isn't much to report other than we are both very busy.  Irvin is back to work for another year.  He says this will be the last!!!!  Think I've heard that before!
The weather has been very cold the past week to 10 days but has warmed up today.  We are looking forward to a nice Christmas.  Wish we had more snow as I was wanting to do some tobogganing over the holidays. 
Anyone interested in fishing 2017 need to give me a call.  We are getting booked up!!!!  We are looking forward to another great season.
Once again Happy Holidays.  Stay warm and stay safe.

In my incredibly busy life, I forgot to announce our 2016 Pike Master.  The honor goes to Richard Kropelnicky.  Richard and his group have been fishing at the Wathaman for the past 6 years.  Congratulations Richard look forward to 2017.
I am happy to report that the 2016 season was a huge success and that we are looking forward to the same for 2017.  I am booking fishermen on a regular basis so if you are interested, give me a call.  I'd hate to disappoint anyone.
Here are some random pictures that were went to my by Andrea Morgan from Texas.  Andrea and her husband Shane came fishing with Spence and Sydney Shout in June.  They had a great time and so did Irvin and myself. Love having my family and their friends.

It was mid afternoon on Friday August 5th when we heard a plane.  Wayne Strader in the lead with his blue and white Cessna landed at Davin Lake, with Jonathan Ratcliffe next and bringing up the rear was Arthur Earsom with his yellow Maule.  They had flew all the way from Oklahoma.  There was a total of 7 fishermen.  These customer have made many trips to Davin Lake.  They have become more like family than customers and we have always looked forward to their arrival. They like to come in August, that seems to suit their schedule.
Fishing was great, as usual, other than the walleye being a bit weak.  They caught and released a large number of trophy pike as well as a large number of lake trout.  They also released 4 trophy walleye.
They are already making plans for next year.  An additional 5 planes for a total of eight for 2017.
A day after the Oklahoma fishermen left, the walleye fishing picked right up.  Les Wallington and his family went to the Davin River and caught and released over 70 walleye.  WOW congrats Les. But that's walleye fishing!!!

Well the bus has come and gone for 2016.  We had a great weekend, weather cooperated and fishing was on and off, due to the changing weather patterns.  But we had a great bunch of fishermen on board and the boys dug into their tackle boxes and used different lures and technics.
Bob and Manny joined us from Denver, Co.  They heard about all the fun we have so they decided to come up and take part in the event. They made a bunch of new friends and had a terrific time.    Manny ended up catching and releasing the biggest pike so he won the free trip back for 2017.  This is the email I received from Manny:

Bob and I really enjoyed the bus trip from Melfort.  The group of folks from Melfort and Prince Albert were great company for the last leg of the trip and in camp.  The trout were down, the weeds were up, and walleye were on the move but fishing was great as usual and we still caught over 25 fish each full day of fishing.  We also caught one trophy pike (39 inches) and three trophy walleye in two days.  We just had to work a bit harder than usual.  Our fish make it home in good shape.  They were not as hard as usual but when you put as many fish in to the freezer as we did as a group, on the last day, that is to be expected.
I was amazed at the way you and Irvin were organized to accommodate such a large group and keep the quality of the food and service at the level I have become accustomed to over the last thirty years of fishing at Davin.  You are awesome!!
Bob and I had just about made up our minds to make the bus trip again next year in addition to our regular trip in June.  Catching the largest pike for this trip really closed any debate.  We will see you in June and July next year.

We are now into August, walleye fishing is picking up.  It seems to be getting better each day.  Pike fishing is tremendous right now but the trout appear to be a bit weak.  I don't know why unless it is due to the extremely high water we have here this year.
