Anglers:
2020 Spring Mack Days will continue on a day to day basis. We will try to complete this to the end but everything is dependent on current health issues. If we need to finish early-winners will be decided by total numbers of fish Fri-Sun. The lottery drawings will be pro-rated by the number of days completed. Bonuses will be added to totals like always. Checks will be sent in the mail.
Please constantly be aware of social distance (6’) when checking in your lake trout entries. It would be best to have just one person bring them up to the check in station or at least have others with you stand back if they are observing-put your cooler down-and step back. We need to keep the number of people at the coolers at a minimum when at the check in stations. Stay back until it is clear for you to bring your cooler forward. If you are keeping your fish they will be counted and returned to your cooler. If you want to keep a portion of them please have them separated in a different container before coming up to the check in station-get them counted and returned to that container so you can leave the area. If think you have a tagged lake trout-it is your responsibility to have it marked (electrical tie, rubber bands, etc.) so time is not spent trying to find it.
The need for your safety and ours should be present at all times.
Thank you for your co-operation with this important issue.
Stay safe everyone.
