2009 Fall Mack Days hits the fourth week

A total of 2,147 lake trout were entered in the fourth weekend of 2009 Fall Mack Days bringing the final number of the four weekends to 7,332.  Friday the weather was just right for the anglers with 1,017 entries coming  in.  Saturday brought more of the relentless windy weather the anglers have endured this fall and hardy anglers scurried to find bays or areas of the lake that were sheltered. It is not unusual for these anglers to put in 10-12 hour days.  Rough water makes  for really long days for the fishermen and ladies-they are amazing!! Saturday’s total entries were 327.  Sunday was much calmer and total entries were 803. Numbers will change quickly the next few weeks with the lake trout spawning and coming in closer. Fishing  tactics will change and areas where the fish are will change. Anglers will use their 12 best days out of 20 available for their average.  The last day is a separate day with special prizes- heaviest entry under 30”-and drawings from $300-$50. .
