Li'l Angler Program Geared toward children 12 and younger, the program encourages novice anglers to get hooked on fishing and gain a little recognition. When little anglers catch their first fish, they or their parents send an application form and photo to the program. Travel Manitoba will send the Li'l Angler an embroidered crest and a certificate of achievement. There is no length requirement and the fish can be any of those species found in Manitoba. If a youngster's first fish happens to meet Manitoba Master Angler requirements, it must be registered separately for that program.
Master Angler Awards Every qualifying Master Angler fish you catch is honoured with a certificate recording your success. The two criteria for entering a Master Angler qualifying fish are the length measurement, and the use of a hook and line to make the catch. In some cases a photo may be required to qualify your entry. Make it a practice to keep a camera ready for all the trophies that come your way.
