Anglers ply the waters for wily lake trout during the fall fishing derby. The fishing event serves the lake’s ecological balance by thinning the voracious species, also called mackinaw. Up to $150,000 will be awarded via lottery drawings, prizes for top anglers and tagged fish worth $100-$500. The derby culminates in a fish fry and awards ceremony at Blue Bay. New this year: Tuesdays-Thursdays are bonus days, which include angling for tagged fish.
Venue: Flathead Lake
Date(s): Fridays-Sundays, Sept. 25-Nov. 15
