The “FREE” Manitoba Youth Angling Card was introduced to: promote the benefits of recreational angling to Manitoba's youth; include youth in programs that connect them to the environment       and build self-esteem; and compliment and enhance existing programs being undertaken       through provincial partnerships. Cards are available at most hardware and sporting good stores, fishing centres, lodges and other stores who sell angling licenses throughout the province. Kids can then register on-line to win incredible fishing prizes at Manitoba's new youth angling website. The youth angler website is Manitoba's portal to youth fishing programs throughout the province. There are on-line fishing games, stories, and a place to upload your favourite fishing photos. Once registered, you can keep in touch with what's happening!
