Vermont Master 2015 Annual Angler Program Report

FISH & WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT The Vermont Master Angler Program

Vermont’s wealth of waters and abundant fish populations provide many opportunities to experience outstanding fishing. The Vermont THE VERMONT MASTER Master Angler Program recognizes the achievements of anglers who ANGLER PROGRAM catch trophy-sized fish from Vermont waters and celebrates the fishes’ HIGHLIGHTS THE DIVERSITY accomplishments in surviving and growing to such exceptional sizes. OF FISH SPECIES IN VERMONT WATERS THAT OFFER UNIQUE The Master Angler program is a length-based program that sets “trophy AND CHALLENGING ANGLING sized” benchmarks for 33 eligible fish species. While these trophy sized OPPORTUNITIES. fish are a challenge to catch, they are attainable for anglers that develop the necessary knowledge and skills.

The Master Angler program encourages anglers to target species that haven’t traditionally been considered sport fish. To do so, they need to grow as anglers and improve their knowledge of fish habitat, behavior, and feeding preferences and develop new skills required to target and catch these species.

Award Categories

The program offers two award categories for adults and youths:

Trophy Angler: Anglers catching a fish exceeding the minimum qualifying length in any of the 33 species categories receive a certificate commemorating their catch. Their names and catches are also included in the Vermont Master Angler Annual Report, posted annually on the Vermont Fish & Wildlife website.

Master Angler: Anglers demonstrating the skill necessary to catch multiple species that all exceed the minimum qualifying lengths, in the same calendar year, are recognized as “Vermont Master Anglers” and receive a lapel pin at the end of the year. To qualify for the annual Vermont Master Angler Pin, an individual angler must submit qualifying entries for 5 or more species within a calendar year.

2015 – By the Numbers

The year 2015 marked the sixth year of this popular program. Numbers of approved entries in 2015 were down slightly (7%) from 2014, with the number of youth participants decreasing the most (15%). Adult participation declined just 2%. Total numbers of entries and participants continue to be lower than the program high observed in 2012 (see Participation Trends, next page).

While 97% (714) of the entries were submitted by Vermont anglers, the program also saw participation by non-resident anglers from Alaska, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and North Carolina.

The Master Angler Program continues to appeal to anglers, adult and youth alike; however there appears to be a large turnover rate in participation. In recent years, slightly more than 50% of the adults and youth participating in the program each year are doing so for the first time ever. At the same time, this also means that nearly half of the anglers that participated in previous years do not continue, or they “drop out” of the program, at least temporarily. The Master Angler Program offers as many personal challenges as anglers choose to take on, and the Department of Fish and Wildlife encourages participants to seek out opportunities to target different species and fish on different waterbodies. Learning to fish for new and different fish species on unfamiliar waters is challenging and exciting and encourages anglers to develop new skills and techniques, which adds to the excitement and enjoyment of the fishing experience.

Species Breakdown

Entries submitted to the Vermont Master Angler Program in 2015 were a testament to the wide variety of fish species and the diversity of angling opportunities available in the state. Of the 33 fish species eligible for entry in the program, only 3 had no entries for 2015: American shad, pike-pickerel hybrid and lake whitefish. Lake whitefish is the only remaining eligible species for which no entries have been received through 2015.

NEW for 2016! Master Angler Bonus Challenge

For 2016, the Master Angler Program has a new twist we’re calling the “Bonus Challenge.” For five years now, Vermont anglers have enjoyed learning about fish biology, habitat, and feeding preferences, and using that knowledge to catch a wide variety of trophy sized fish species. Now we’re looking to put your angling knowledge and skills to the test by challenging anglers to catch five Master Angler species we randomly selected from four categories: Coldwater, Warmwater, Panfish, and Alternative – plus one “wild card” species. New “Bonus Challenge” species lists will be developed each year. Any angler who successfully completes the 2016 Bonus Challenge will receive extra recognition and a special prize!

The 2016 “Bonus Challenge” species are: Lake Trout, Chain Pickerel, Fallfish, Yellow Perch, White Sucker.

Note: the regular Master Angler Program will continue as it has since the beginning
