Our Friends from Germany

At the end of September 2009 we received a call from a Gentleman from Germany that wanted to bring his father to Canada for a Bear Hunt. We where more than happy to Accommodate Walter and Jochem Krieger of Germany at Pine Portage Lodge.

They where arriving in Sault Ste. Marie by Commercial Airlines on September 17th, we picked them up and transported them to Wawa. Once in Wawa they boarded our Cessna Caravan and flew into Pine Portage Lodge. Walter Krieger had a very successful Bear hunt and fishing trip. He was able to get some fishing in with his son Jochem since he had already gotten his bear. They departed on September 22nd to go back home to Germany.
Everyone had a great time both fishing and hunting and I am sure it will be a trip they will remember.

We would like to thank both Walter and Jochem for allowing us to show them what "Northern Hospitality" is all about.

Hope to see you both in the future!!!!

MOOSE HUNT 2009

We have now wrapped up our 2009 Moose Hunt. We started our Traditional Moose Hunt with our Thanksgiving Dinner, this is when our Management, Staff and Guests enjoy a Full Course Dinner with all the fixings. Since Mr. Watson started this Tradition back in 1946 it still carries on today. Unfortunately Mr. Watson was unable to be with us at the Lodge this year due to health issues, his daughter Betty took his seat at the head of the table and started our Dinner by doing the honours of saying "Grace".
Because our Non-Resident hunt starts on Thanksgiving Day we have our dinner on the Sunday before the hunt. Imagine, sixty three years of tradition, now that is something to be proud of. Even though Mr. Watson was unable to be at Pine Portage with us this year, he was definitely there in thought.

With five hunters this year they where successful in seeing 11 moose and taking two bulls with a third bull being missed.

Over all the weather was great for fall hunting other than a few days we had of wind and snow.

For those of you who would like to few some of our hunting pictures please log onto our web site at www.fishthefinest.com and go to Fall Hunting.

We would like to thank all of our Hunters for making this another successful hunt.

We would also like to thank Phil Hall(aka Roger and Dr. Phil), Greg Bell(aka Roy) for taking all the harassment in stride. We had a great time. Although it's a good thing you didn't have to sew the horns back on.

2009 Bear Hunt was a great success!!!!

We had another successful Bear Hunt for 2009. We had four hunters and all were successful. As our previous guests know we strive to give our Hunters a "Quality Hunt" and limit the number of hunters each year.

For the purpose of possibly offending some of our viewers to this Blog, we will not be posting any hunting pictures here, however if you wish to view our "Successful hunters for 2009" please visit our web site at www.fishthefinest.com under the Hunting Section.

Don't forget while you are there check out our Fishing Packages and make your reservations for 2010 fishing/hunting season.
