It
was a wonderful trip again this year.
Our 10th
year celebration to Duck Bay.
A father-daughter trip like no other -
not just a vacation, a retreat!
The fishing was great - walleye, northern, bass
and the shore lunch (both days) was out of this world!
Thanks to all the staff;
they really know how to treat you well.
We will be back again next year.
I finally have a story of “the one that
got away”.
That fishing spot will be our first stop
next year, to try and get him in the boat!

I caught
this muskie with a ¼ ounce jig on 8 pound test line with no wire
leader.
I worked that jig and minnow so well
that the muskie couldn’t refuse.
And I caught a 34 inch northern the next day on
the same jig in the exact same
place!
Now that’s an expert fisherman.
One of the best trips we’ve had since our first
trip here in 1995.
Fishing and service were excellent.

I
have attached my muskie picture and I forced myself to include Nik’s
too.
I caught my 43 inch muskie on a “lucky”
bucktail and Nik had to unhook it for me.
Once again we had a wonderful time at
Duck Bay.
Food and staff still the best!
Thanks Dave and Sheree.

This
trip I managed to catch my biggest muskie - 48 ½ inches.
We raised over 30 muskies and had
several strikes including one that jumped 4 feet out of the water on
our last morning.
As usual, the food was great (more than
we could eat) and the service was fantastic.

Thank you
for a wonderful trip.
Fishing was good and we caught many.
As always, your staff is so very attentive to
our needs and are always there to assist us.
We had a good time with your guide;
he was very knowledgeable and kept us
moving.
He also made an excellent shore lunch.
Again, thank you to you and your staff
for a great time.
We are already looking forward to being
here again next year at the same time.

Hi Dave and Sheree!
I have enclosed a picture of the walleye I caught while staying with
you at Duck Bay Lodge. The fish measured 31 inches and weighed 11
pounds. And is currently being mounted here in Eagle River.
I must tell you that catching this fish was only a bonus when you
consider the fantastic vacation I had. I was so very impressed with
the service and the accommodations that I have found myself thinking
or talking about this vacation constantly! I will definitely be
visiting you again.
Please give my best regards to all the staff, from the guides to the
fine people that took care of our cabin and served us such great
food in the lodge. My hat is off to all of you! Best wishes and I
hope to see all of you soon!
Sincerely,
Doug Stearns

Hi Sheree and Dave,
I just wanted to drop you all a note to thank you so very much for
your wonderful hospitality and the way you made our trip absolutely
great. Your facilities are wonderful and the care and the service
you offer are superb. I would like to express my grateful
appreciation and thank you for taking such good care of us.
I have come to think of you all as friends and that our friendship
will continue through the coming years. I gained three pounds on the
trip because of your fantastic cooking. Again, THANK YOU!!

Dear Sheree and Dave,
Elmer and I thank you for another glorious stay at your Lodge. Duck
Bay is truly a retreat for us and we are fortunate to have been
invited as guests of Hammel, Green and Abrahamson. We hope to bring
our family some day!
I am enclosing a special photo of Thatcher and Mr. Ellis. This is
Thatcher's catch but he was generous and allowed Elmer to assist in
landing and boating the "trophy" which we carefully returned to the
lake, of course.
Again, thank you and your fine staff for great fishing, great food (shorelunches
too!) and a great five days!

Dear Dave and Sheree,
Here are two happy fishermen in Burrow Bay one evening in May. Steve
Strand is holding the paddle used for muskie measurement - notice
his fingers on the 41 ¾ inch notch. We had a delightful time landing
this memory maker while trying to preserve the fish. It was caught
on barbless hooks, we took a quick measurement and picture, and back
into the cool water within 90 seconds. The fish rested quietly and
promptly swam off to spread the alarm to others in the bay. The
Strand party had a wonderful time this May. Thank you for all of
your special touches. They were appreciated.
My wife Ruby, Grandson Steven and I are looking forward to walleye
fishing with you in June. To all at Duck Bay - thanks again and have
a great summer.
Sincerely,
Larry Olson

Dear Dave and
Sheree,
I want to
thank you for yet another memorable fishing vacation. It will be
difficult to single out any one event, well perhaps the 50" musky
which I caught and released. It was a real honor to have handled a
fish that has survived and grown to near my age. Well maintained and
clean accommodations, great food, helpful and friendly staff is the
formula which makes me look forward to the return to Duck Bay Lodge.
Sincerely,
Todd Steyer
