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. In 2017, 68% of the participating youth anglers were new to the program, while 49% of adults were first timers. 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.
