The real Davin Lake fish story - Is it fact or fiction????

We had a visitor here today, William Mckenzie.  Some of you will remember him, he guided here for many years.  He was showing us some of the hot spots on the map and was asking us if the spots had changed over the years.  During the conversation, he asked if we had ever seen an eight foot Pike in Davin Lake.  To our surprise, he said he has seen them here many times.  Wes, the owner of the camp back then, claims to have seen many from his airplane and believed there are a special breed of Pike only in Davin Lake.  Other locals have seen these huge pike as well, or so they claim.  Although there have been many stories of hugh fish that got away, could it have been an eight foot one??  We need your input, could there be 96 inch pike in Davin Lake?????

The good news is - bug season is over.  Had a few rains this past week and it looks like it has totally eliminated the horse flys which is a good thing.  We have had very few people in camp for the past week or so hence we are getting caught up on many tasks.  We are now getting ready for our annual bus tour next weekend.
Went out to check our hot spots for fishing, found pike fishing excellent.  Irvin caught and released a 42 inch pike along with a number of others around the 30 inch mark.  Had to fish in deeper water due to the warmer water temps.
Walleye fishing is fair.  Hook of choice seems to be a rapala.
Trout fishing is fair.
The water level is up a wee bit above average for this time of year.  The weather has been sketchy at best and the forcast is for more of the same.
Irvin brought in a couple walleye so that is what is on the menue tonight.

Good evening to you all.  The Steve Dixon group from Wathaman are super happy with their 51 and 1/2 inch pike.  The pictures they took were on a blackberry and we had no way to put them on my computer so I am waiting for them to email the pictures.  The fish was so big they couldn't get it all in one photo so they took two.  The photographer backed up so far he almost fell in the water but did get pictures.  I will post them as soon as I get them.  I only hope I can take them from my email to my blog with little difficulty - I am not computer savvy.  I will do my best.
They also caught a 42 inch pike which I have a picture of.  The caught a hugh number of trophy pike over the 30 inch range.  They have been doing their annual fishing trip to various camps for the last 20 years and are experienced pike fishermen.  They claim this was on of the best trips they ever had and say they will definately be back next year.
There is no one here right now - no one at Wathaman either.  It is raining and looks like it will stay for awhile.  If anyone has the time to come fishing, we have the room to accomodiate.

Nick Hathaway, age 10 form Texax, caught and released a 30 plus inch pike on Wednesday July 6th.  Over all fishing has been quite good.  Pike fishing excellent, trout fishing excellent and Walleye fish weaker but started to pick up towards the end of the week.  Buzz bombs are still the hook of choice for trout.  Spoons seem to work for pike and jigs with night crawlers for walleye.
