Mack Days angler reels in tagged fish worth $1,000
Many anglers participating in Spring Mack Days on Flathead Lake are having great days and big numbers of lake trout entries.
An exciting event over the fourth weekend was a $1,000 tagged lake trout that was turned in by Michael Stevenson of Kalispell. He caught the tagged trout up on the Delta in the north end of the lake. The tag had been put in the fish on March 4 by CSKT fisheries staff in Skidoo Bay. Congratulations Michael!
The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes use the biannual Mack Days fishing events as tools to reduce the number of non-native lake trout in Flathead Lake. The conservation effort, sanctioned by Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, aims to increase the populations of native bull trout and westslope cutthroat.
