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.

...."And What A Catch That Was"

Seven year old Walt Zacher of Buffalo, New York caught his biggest fish on Kabinakagami Lake yesterday. When the Walleye took the bait and snatched his "Lucky Lure" there was no way he was loosing this fish. With his rod bent so much that the tip was in the water, he was able to keep it "Hooked" so his Guide could net it. He couldn't wait to get back to the Lodge to add his name to the "Wall of Fame". Here's a quote right from the fisherman himself: "He tugged twice and than the third tug I new he was on my hook. He was tugging so hard I thought I was going to go water skiing. I was happy and told Bill "get the net, get the net".


Way to go Walt that really is an Awesome fish, those fish better watch out for you, who knows what secret Lure you will be using tomorrow!!!!
