Week 7: Fall Mack Days total outstrips previous years
A total of 14,621 lake trout entries have been entered in the 2024 Fall Mack Days Fishing Event at the conclusion of the seventh week on Oct. 20. Entries in the nine-week event continue to be taken until the final day, Nov. 3.
The 2023 event total this far into the event was at 14,255; numbers by week seven were 12,654 in 2022; 11,615 in 2021; and 10,912 in 2020.
Up to $200,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded at the end of the current 2024 Mack Days sponsored by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. Mack Days are used as a fish conservation management tool to reduce the invasive non-native lake trout in the Flathead Lake – once a stronghold for native bull trout and westslope cutthroat.
