Mack Days: Week three count tops 13,000
After three weekends of fishing beneath the snowcapped Mission Mountains on Flathead Lake, our Spring Mack Days angler’s total lake trout count stands at 13,417. Totals of recent years at the three-week mark are: 2023: 11,315 entries; 2022: 9,039 entries; 2021: 11,135 entries; 2020: 12,925 entries; and 2019: 13,622 entries.
These anglers are amazing fishermen and women who put in countless hours, money, and effort making the events successful!
Mack Days events are sponsored by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and are sanctioned by Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks and serve as a management tool used to reduce the non-native lake trout population in Flathead lake. Up to $225,000 in cash and prizes sponsored by CSKT will be awarded at the conclusion of the event to many hard-working anglers.
