Northern Manitoba's lakes and rivers  produce numerous monster Walleye, Northern Pike and Lake Trout that are eligible for the Manitoba Master Angler Awards, so your chances of catching one of these toothy lunkers and receiving an award are excellent.

Every qualifying Master Angler fish you catch is honored with a certificate recording your success. A unique certificate is given to those anglers who catch-and-release a trophy fish. The Manitoba Master Angler Catch-and-Release shoulder patch is given to those individuals who release a qualifying fish.

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.

Bronze Badge - Awarded only once, the Bronze badge is presented to anglers who catch their first trophy fish of qualifying size, in any one of the 28 eligible species.

Silver Badge (The Expert) - This badge honours the skill and scope it takes to catch one qualifying fish from five different species. The combination you choose to become an "Expert" is up to you.

The Specialist - Catch five qualifying fish of one species to receive the Specialist badge. Master each of the species and earn a different badge each time. There are 28 Specialist badges to be had.

Gold Badge (The Grand Master) - The right to wear gold is achieved by those who catch a qualifying fish from ten different species. A once-in-a-lifetime award, the Grand Master gold badge salutes the dedication, versatility and level of accomplishment of those who pursue this title
