5x WY master angler awards

Post By: eholm      Posted: 1/12/2024 4:16:03 PM     Points: 18229    
Like much of the continent, it’s been ridiculously cold and windy so I haven’t fished in a couple days. However, I just got a nice surprise in the mail. I received all 5 Wyoming Master Angler awards that I applied for, plus the Trophy Angler award which is achieved by accumulating 5 Master Angler awards! All of them were caught in the second half of 2023.

Perhaps I’ll be able to accumulate 5 more species in 2024 and qualify for the Ultimate angler award. The species I got so far are brown trout, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, Kokanee salmon, and yellow perch. Of those, I consider most of them to be fairly standard “big” catches for what I’ve been catching in Wyoming, with the exception of the brown trout. It was a 27 inch, 8+ pound female, which was my PB brown trout and one of my best fish of the year.

The program is open to anyone with a WY fishing license and you can apply on their website. The standards are based on length and uploading a picture.

Good work. I'm jealous that you've actually managed to catch fish at Lake Hattie. I've lived in Laramie for 3.5 years and still have never caught a trout there, out of probably 30+ days of fishing. Gave up trying a long time ago. Our Master Angler program is pretty cool. I'm currently sitting at 18 species. Hoping to become the first 2x Ultimate Angler.
