Understand and appreciate the event
rules-good sportsmanship depends on conforming to the
intent of the rules and to not be looking for a loophole. You
may enter only the lake trout you
have caught.
Fish entered daily are to be harvested on that day. When you take your
lake trout
home they will be clipped. Keep the fish on ice if you are going
to donate them. They are going to be
processed for the food pantries. We cannot accept fish
that are not kept on ice.
Check out the
sportsmanship
page.
Check out the largest lake trout page for info on that category.
Pick your
best 12 out of 21 day totals.
Totals will depend on the numbers of
tagged lake trout and bonus payout numbers.
Go to the
current leaders page for the top 60 entries and
leaders in the other categories.
Ice is a requirement
for the lake trout that are going to be donated
to area food pantries. We will not take fish that have not
been
kept on ice!!!
We encourage all boaters/anglers to use caution and be
safe while on the lake.
Check out safe boating and launching
tips.
Incentives for
fishing more than 12 days are:
1. Higher bonus category
2. Catching a tagged fish
3. Better 12 day total for
drawing & top angler award.

Final numbers sometimes are different than
what is first reported. The reason
for the difference is catching mistakes when we finally have the
time to go
over all envelopes and verify numbers. Also we do not mean
to leave any
one off of any list. Each and every angler and the number
of lake trout they caught-if it
is one fish or over 200-they all add up and all count.
We can only list so many names
so we have to limit what is printed. Youth anglers are an
important investment
in our future and are given priority on lists that go out to
papers.
All it takes
is one fish to win!!
Mack Days Events are
about fishing, family, and fun.
"Man can learn a lot from fishing -- when the
fish are biting no problem
in the world is big enough to be remembered."--
