The lake has so many different moods. Love this picture taken by guest Dylan Walter of a rainbow over the channel to Turtle Lake. An evening squall had kicked up and this was the aftermath.

Our corporate group Kraus-Anderson Construction Company (Bemidji, MN) has been with Duck Bay Lodge for 22 years. Pictured is the gang toasting (with a rare and expensive whisky) and celebrating the upcoming retirement of Duane Kaiser (pictured in the orange shirt).

Pictured is a happy Shyla McFarland (with guide Bill Luney) and Shyla's 34 inch northern.

Pictured is Sam Martel (Darien, IL) with a 48 inch muskie caught last week. During his fishing trip, Sam caught his first muskie ever - 41 inches, then a few days later, this 48 inch!

Pictured is Sam Friedman (with guide Jimmy Van Gorp) and a 48 ½ inch muskie that Sam caught last week.

Pictured is Mike McGonigle with his 45 inch muskie. His buddies are (from left to right) Jim Trenolone, Tom Dunn and Mike Cashen.

The biggest walleye of the year so far has been caught by Jim Blissenbach, pictured above with his 28 ½ inch fish.

John Lohmiller (Crosslake, MN) looks surprised by this monster 52 inch muskie! And he should be! John was fishing for walleyes with 6 pound test and a blue/green jig and the muskie swallowed the walleye he was reeling in. This happened to him a couple years ago, the same scenario with a 49 inch muskie.

As is typical with June, guests are reporting catching a lot of walleyes; see some of this week's nice catches...

Pictured is Myles Rohr (Saint Joseph, MO) with guide Kerry Taylor and Myles' 23 inch walleye. Other nice catches this week are:
