FISH: But read this first

Attention: Anyone who fishes Priest Lake,

For 40 years the Endangered Species Act has been responsible for the ethnic cleansing of the Lake Trout. Each Western state receives taxpayer money to kill fish in the lakes and streams in order to save one fish species over another, also called ethnic cleansing. The record Mackinaw was caught in 1971 by Lyle McClure, 57 pounds, 8 ounces. Wouldn’t you like to have the opportunity to try and catch something like that? Please show your support for the Priest Lake fish that makes Priest Lake famous the Mackinaw. Long live the Mackinaw.
