Wathaman Outpost

Light Housekeeping in a Pristine Setting

Wathaman is an experience that even the most seasoned angler will relish. Even larger than Davin lake (60 square miles), and although it does not offer the deep water of Davin, Wathaman's Walleye and Northern Pike fishing is unparalleled. Due to its remote nature and even larger size (20 square miles larger), Wathaman is fished even less than Davin. In fact, the fishing is so good that you if take a moment to examine the past winners of our Pikemaster competition, each and every one came from Wathaman!

Wathaman Outpost is a remote camp on Wathaman Lake accessible from Davin Lake by pontoon boat and portage (no plane trip required). The trip from Davin takes approximately one hour. Guests of Wathaman park their vehicles at Davin Lake Lodge during their stay. Wathaman is a Light Housekeeping camp, which means that guests bring groceries and do their own cooking for breakfast and dinner. Shore lunch is provided daily.

There is one duplex cabin at the Outpost that accommodates up to 12 people (six per side). Each cabin has a bedroom with six bunk beds. The front room has a kitchen area with a propane stove and refrigerator, table and chairs and a sofa bed. Each cabin has propane heat and hot and cold running water. All cooking and serving utensils are provided. Each cabin has a propane grill outside with a picnic table on the deck area, and fire pits are available in front of the cabins. Flush toilets and hot showers are to the back of the cabins via a wooden walkway.  Boats are stored at the lake’s shore just in front of the cabins. When you return to camp at 6:00 pm your guide will professionally fillet and freeze your catch for your trip home.

Wathaman Lake

Wathaman is an enormous lake--twice the size of Davin Lake at approximately 125 square miles--with a wide variety of environments including both river and lake fishing. Due to the pristine nature of Wathaman and its sheer size,, some of the largest trophy-class Pike have been caught here including the lunker to the left, landed by Steve Denny.
