Lodge History

My photo
Pine Portage Lodge located on Kabinakagami Lake, Watson's Algoma Vacations year round Reservation office 1-800-363-4443 is located in Wawa, Ontario, Canada
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.

WHAT'S THIS "THE BOSS FISHING"

Ok, Ok, we even get to fish sometimes. This was caught in less than an hour of fishing. The weather was not to bad and obviously the fishing great as usual and the shorelunch was exceptional (but of course Bill, since Betty was there to help). So call the office pack up your fishing rod & gear and get ready for some great fishing at Pine Portage Lodge on Kaby Lake. We would love to have you!!!!!






Great catch Fred, good thing your wife was taking the picture!!!



Remember Catch & Release really does work.






Another nice catch Mitch & Fred Hatfield
