We had a sad day last week and hate to post that Marcel passed away. Anyone who has been to Davin in June or July the past 8 or 9 years has probably had the pleasure of meeting him. Marcel was a commercial fisherman and did fish studies for the United Nations. He had the ability to travel more places than most, and Davin Lake was definitely his favorite. He would spend about two months with us in "the bush" as he called it. It was always great to hear his stories of travel around the globe, and the "Jacks" longer than his leg that swim in Davin. There are many people who enjoy coming to Davin each year but Marcel loved it here as much as anyone. He even built a cabin in France and placed a giant picture on the wall of the view of Davin Lake. He would sit and gaze at the picture and dream of the next summer when he could return to the bush. We will miss him a great deal.
On a happier note our annual bus tour is this week. There's 24 people in camp and we are extremely busy, but it is great to see everyone. Fishing has been outstanding all year it seems, and everyone who leaves says it was the best ever. We believe our catch and release policy and trying to show people proper fish handling, and releasing to preserve our great fishery is really working, and the fishing reports seem to confirm it.
Time for supper!
Diana and Irvin
