Announcements:
Thank you anglers for your hard work
and the many hours you put in to make
the event a success!!!
It is very
important to look closely at the smaller fish-bull
trout that are smaller are hard to identify. If in doubt about
the ID of a fish-put it back in the water. Go to the
bull trout
ID page to learn more about identifying these fish.

Our first priority during the event is everyone's
safety. Treacherous winds-storms can suddenly appear
on Flathead Lake or you might need help or assistance
for some other reason. It is better to be overly cautious
and be safe-don't take chances-if you need emergency
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).
Please put these numbers in your cell phone contact list.
We also have a marine band radio (Blue Bay Headquarters)-
call us on it if needed.

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.
Pick your
best 15 out of 32 day totals.
The last day will be a separate day.
Totals will depend on the numbers of
tagged lake trout and bonus payout numbers.
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 15 days are:
1. Higher bonus category
2. Catching a tagged fish
3. Better 15 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."--
