Happy Valentine's Day to All

Good Morning and a Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.  I was just checking flights and it seems like there are good prices right now.  Especially if you are coming through the mid west.  Just yesterday flights from Denver to Saskatoon with United Airlines was just $488.00 return.  Anyone interested should check.
The weather has been awesome.  But the authorities are still saying that the ice isn't safe for ice fishing, at least in Southern Sask. 
Reports are that there is quite a bit of snow at Davin although the temperatures have been milder than usual.  We are hoping for an early spring!!
Hope everyone is wintering well - Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Jan 31, 2012 - how time flys.  Seems like we just got home from the camp and I am now making lists and plans for the 2012 season.  The bookings are coming in, we are booked from the 10th to the 19th of June and only one cabin from the 1st to the 9th.  Things are looking up.
The weather has been incredable.  It is -2C today (approx +30F) this weather is to hold for at least two more weeks.  It has been mild since around the 20th, what a wonderful break.  The RCMP are advising people to stay off the ice, another truck with through over the weekend.  I have not heard about the ice at Davin but do know that there is much more snow up there than here.  The temperature is mild but not as mild as here.  The noon news say it is -17 at Stoney Rapids.  Still a nice temp for January.
We did our openhouse at Longmont.  There were not as many there as last year but it was a huge success.  Congratulations to Skip Diekman from Longmont, he won the fishing trip and will be coming up in the 2012 season.
Irvin has gone back to work, this time in Medicine Hat, Alberta.  He says he will not be home until the end of April, must be nice to be needed!!!!!
Hope this finds you all well.  Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

It is that time of the year again!!!!   I can hardly believe that a year has passed and the holiday season is upon us once again.  We would like to take this time to wish all our past, present and future clients a very Happy Christmas season.  We would also like to wish you all a very Happy and Prosperous 2012.
The weather has been spectacular.  It was +6C today - the normal is a high of -14C.  These temperatures have been setting records each day.  I keep thinking that we will pay for this yet.
Even with the warm weather, Irvin was ice fishing on Sunday.  I am not sure how safe it was but none-the-less he was out there.  Of course, no fish, but one can't catch a fish without a fishing line!!!!!  Can't imagine what he was doing!!!  The truth is, Irvin is so spoiled from all the wonderful fishing at Davin that it isn't the same to fish these lakes around here.  He says this isn't fishing anyway, it is socializing!!!
We are starting to put things in order to go to Denver for our second Hospitality Night.  It will be held on January 6th at Longmont, anyone interested in attending, email for further information.  We really need you to attend and please bring your pictures so we can talk over old times and plan for another year.
Irvin and Oscar are planning to attend the ISE show to see what might be new, if anything.  Maybe you will run into them there.
We will be doing the Saskatoon Sports and Liesure Show in March, anyone attending, stop by to say "hi".
Once again we wish that all your hopes and dreams come true this holiday season and 2012 treats you well.

More Portage Pictures

This project took Irvin and Monte 3 full days to complete.  They are going to build a floating dock for the Wathaman side of the portage.  This should be put into place when we open this spring.
