February sports show schedule...

Our January sports shows in Chicago were well attended;  it is shaping up to be a very busy summer at Duck Bay Lodge!  If you're looking for an early season trip, see available dates at the bottom of this newsletter.  And if you're down south in the sun, come see us at:

International Sportsmen's Exposition
University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ  
February 19th - 22nd.
 
Over our 25 years at Duck Bay, we have a number of groups who have been with us right since our very first year.  In our next couple of e-newsletters, we'll introduce you to a few of them.  Keep reading to meet George Tesch. 

The Tesch family
circa 1990 
summer 2014  

George Tesch and his family have been with us at Duck Bay Lodge since our first year in business in 1990.  In the early years, George took his employees on corporate trips and the group was so large, he selected a resort much larger than Duck Bay.  But for his personal vacations with his family, he preferred a smaller, more personal resort. We take it as a huge compliment that they selected Duck Bay and have been coming up almost every year for 25 years.
 
Over the years, George and wife Beverly brought children George Jr., Stephanie and Georgia, and also their grandchildren, Julia, Henry and Greg.  As time went on, Julia married and husband Chris has been included as well. 
 
In the early 1990's, George caught a 31 inch walleye (picture on left) and for a number of years, that was the largest walleye caught from Duck Bay.  Some things never change and George's happy smile and success catching fish are two of them!

When we first started at Duck Bay, Dave was learning to carve (and totally butchering) a turkey.  George came into the lodge and noticed what Dave was doing.  Sometime later George returned to find Dave still hacking away.  He will never forget George's words "you done yet?"  George, Dave has now carved approximately 450 chickens and turkeys and he is starting to get much better at it.
