Mack Days: Just two weeks left
Anglers fishing the 2024 Spring Mack Days Fishing Event have increased the total number of lake trout entries to 29,228, slightly more than the 2023 total of 28,176 at the end of week seven, and less than the 2019 record breaker, which was 31,163 at week seven and 40,362 overall.
Friday’s total was 1,405, Saturday’s was 1,227, and Sunday’s catch was 687. The Monday-to-Thursday total was 3,334.
One hundred seventy-two anglers have turned in one or more lake trout entries so far. Every lake trout entry counts in this conservation effort to reduce non-native lake trout in Flathead Lake, sponsored by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and sanctioned by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
