The Vermont Master Angler Program

Vermont’s wealth of waters and abundant fish populations provide many opportunities to experience outstanding fishing. The Vermont Master Angler Program recognizes the achievements of anglers who catch trophy-sized fish from Vermont waters and celebrates the fishes’ accomplishments in surviving and growing to such exceptional sizes. The Master Angler program is a length-based program that sets “trophy sized” benchmarks for 33 eligible fish species. While these trophy sized 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.

2016 – By the Numbers 2016 marked the seventh year of this popular program. Numbers of approved entries in 2016 were up slightly (2%) from 2015, although entries from youth anglers were down (3%). Total numbers of entries and participants continue to be lower than the program high observed in 2012 (see Participation Trends, next page). While 96% (716) of the entries were submitted by Vermont anglers, the program also saw participation by non-resident anglers from California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Ontario, Canada.

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 2016, 64% of the participating youth anglers were new to the program, while 54% 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.

Species Breakdown Entries submitted to the Vermont Master Angler Program in 2016 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 one – rainbow smelt – had no entries. 2016 saw the first lake whitefish entered, meaning that at least one specimen of all 33 species have now been entered over the life of the program.

Locations – Where the Big Ones Were Caught Similar to the diversity of fish species seen in the 2016 entries, the waters from which trophy fish were caught was also varied. Trophy fish entries were received from 80 different waters around the state. As in the past, the most entries came from Lake Champlain. The following is a list of waters where 4 or more of the 747 entries were caught:

Bonus Challenge Entries

2016 Master Angler “Bonus Challenge” The Master Angler Program introduced a new feature in 2016 called the “Bonus Challenge.” The intention was to encourage anglers to fish for a wider variety of fish species than they might normally target, by identifying five specific species to catch and enter in the Program. Anglers would have to learn about fish biology, habitat, and feeding preferences for each species, and use that knowledge and their angling skills to target and catch trophy sized specimens of those species. The 2016 “Bonus Challenge” species were: Lake Trout, Chain Pickerel, Fallfish, Yellow Perch, and White Sucker. Two anglers – Drew Price of Colchester and Chase Stokes of Ferrisburg – accomplished the Bonus Challenge, and were awarded gift cards from local Vermont bait & tackle shops near their homes.
