Mack Days AIS Update
Spring 2021
March 19 to May 16, 2021
Date of this Update: January 14, 2021
Because we are very concerned about AIS issues, Mack Days will require that all boats be inspected in 2021 before launching at any site on Flathead Lake and that proof of inspection be turned in with your first entries or before (you can email a copy of your proof of inspection to Cindy at cindy.benson@cskt.org). This is for the protection of the lake and everyone who cares about it.
Inspection stations will be open at an early date. Inspections may also be done at the CSKT NRD office in Polson or FWP Offices (call ahead)
OR
A Mack Days Inspection can be done at Blue Bay except for boats coming from out of state or any boat crossing over the Continental Divide.
When we have more information on sites for inspections we will get it out to you.
Thank you everyone and best of luck!

Tiny, razor-sharp shells would coat and clog every hard surface of the lake – rocks, boats, docks & dams.

Invasive mussels would ravage the lake environment.
They would devastate the lake fishery and cost taxpayers and property owners hundreds of millions of dollars. Protecting Flathead Lake from invasive mussels is up to all of us.
Clean Drain Dry is more than just a slogan. It's the key to keeping invasive mussels out of the lake. And stoping at check stations is not an option.
It's the law.
A vibrant fishery is a terrible thing to waste and 1.5 billion dollars is too much money to flush down the drain. We can't afford either.
Did you know that an adult female zebra mussel can release a million eggs a year and that the mussels that hatch from all those eggs will grow up to encrust any hard surface they can find?
