assistance call 911-or if you are close to us at
Blue Bay-call our land line @ (406-982-3142) first
and then try the cell phone @ (406-270-3386).

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.

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."--

anglers!
