In 1941 at the age of 18 Dick Watson Sr. joined the R.C.A.F. and went to serve his country. After four years of flying fighter planes and being shot down three times, he returned home in 1945 as a war hero. It was at this time that he decided to fulfill his dreams of starting a tourism business on Kabinakagami Lake using his military earnings. Dick and his wife Edna married in 1946 and together they began to build their future at Pine Portage Lodge.

Was it Beginners Luck or Skill!!!!

Rick & Lore Botham from Adrian, MI stopped by our booth at the Outdoorama held at the Rock Financial in Novi, MI last winter. After visiting many outfitters at the show they decided to take a chance on us. Lore caught a beautiful 5.5# 24.5" Walleye and Rick caught a nice Northern Pike the next day. She even had the experience of having a little black bear that helped her get rid of her garbage one day at their shorelunch. But not to worry Rick was there to protect her 'Right Rick' as the story was told. I hope they will have alot of memories and good laughs to share with their friends and family about their fishing experience at Pine Portage Lodge. We do hope you both have had a great time. It is always nice to meet two great people like you and we do hope we lived up to your expectations. Thank's for the great pictures and thanks to Rick for being such a great sport putting up with all the flack we gave him about the bear. We hope to see both of you again, who knows maybe next year.
