This one is my favorite because all 5 fish were caught fly fishing. It might be the only one like that. Go figure! Not even the trout species have that distinction for me.

Hmmmm.... All my specialist badges are through fly fishing Brown Trout Rainbow Trout Black Crappie Sunfish Smallmouth Bass Next year would like to target a few other species depending on the bodies of water I'd be able to hit and how far away from home I'm willing to go (tempted to go after some finnicky carp next year!) It's fun to catch those sunfish out at Metigoshe on a 4 weight rod just for sheer numbers, smallmouth bass for topwater action, or good ol' rainbows for a good tug of war.

Despite what Travel Manitoba says As, apparently, I've caught MA smallies while Ice fishing in June in southern MB. Pretty sure I've checked the appropriate box!

My one and only master angler that I put in for was also messed up. They had me releasing it on a normal rod, where I put in as kept on the fly rod. Didn't mean to keep her, but it was badly gill hooked and bled out before I got it into the tube.

I just wrote them a little letter and explained the issue, and they fixed it right up. It might as well be right if you went to the trouble to make a submission!

Sadly my Master Angler pin was on a very nice fake tilly hat that went for a swim and sunk before the boat got turned around.
One Channel Cat, One Walleye
Far cry from a specialist on anything except spending money.

Are the MFFA pins just awarded to the top fish in every category? I got the newsletter today and noticed that I got a 2nd and 3rd last year. I couldn't make it to the awards night.
