Nine Wyoming anglers
achieve ultimate status
CHEYENNE - Nine more Wyoming
anglers can say they mastered the state's
waters.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department
is happy to announce the newest Ultimate
Anglers who caught 10 different species of
trophy-sized fish in Wyoming. The achievement
is recognized as part of Game and Fish's
Master Angler program.
The newest Ultimate Anglers are:
* Michael Ayars - Cheyenne
* Hugh Baggs - Cheyenne
* Garrett Isaacson - Rock Springs
* Jaxon King - Laramie
* Robert Larson - Evansville
* Benjamin Linnell - Laramie
* Bruce Parker - Casper
* Scott White - Thermopolis
* Brian Wille - Sheridan
" Congratulations to these nine anglers, "
said Dirk Miller, Game and Fish deputy chief
of fisheries. " It's certainly no small feat to

catch 10 trophy-sized fish, but it's a lot of fun
and time well-spent outdoors. "
Since the launch of the program in June
2019, 22 anglers have achieved Ultimate
Angler status. Trophy-sized fish represent the
largest fish in the state - the top 5 percent
- of the 24 eligible species. Some fisheries in
Wyoming are managed for trophy sizes while
others are for high catch rates and species
diversity.
Participating in the Master Angler program
is easy, even if catching a trophy is challenging.
An angler who lands a fish that meets
or exceeds the minimum qualifying length
from snout to the tip of a pinched tail must
take and submit a side-view photograph of
the fish. Include in the photograph an object,
like a ruler or a coin, to validate the length.
Submit the photo, angler information and
details about the species and where it was
caught on the Game and Fish website.

the title of master angler, a species-specific
sticker and recognition on the Game and Fish
website. Five different trophy-length species
designate someone as a Trophy Angler, carrying
the same prizes as a Master Angler and a
commemorative medallion. Those who catch
10 different trophy species get the title of
Ultimate Angler and earn the Trophy Angler
prizes as well as a special prize package.
