Alberta’s annual Family Fishing Weekend returns this weekend, encouraging friends and families to connect with what the Provincial Government calls some of Alberta’s “greatest” natural resources- the bountiful lakes, rivers, and streams.
During the weekend of July 13th-14th, residents and visitors alike are encouraged to give fishing a try without having to commit to purchasing a sportfishing license.
While fishing licenses are not required during this time, fishing regulations remain in effect and apply to anglers of all ages, and residents who choose to fish are encouraged to be responsible by practicing sustainable techniques and learning the difference between sport fish and invasive species.
Additionally, free fishing is not available in national parks in Alberta including in Banff, Jasper, Waterton Lakes, and Wood Buffalo.
Find a stocked lake near you and enjoy catching a memory on your family fishing experience.
