Hi,
My kids and I are new to fishing and honestly the regulations are insanely hard to decipher, I am not sure what the point of the map is you can’t see anything and even online it’s not interactive so it is very difficult to determine exactly what is what.
So I have a few questions that I am hoping you guys can help me out with, I have called the fish and wildlife offices in the books but always get a machine, I have never been able to talk to someone specific.
I am planning on going to spray lakes on the weekend the regulations say. It is open year round so I am good to fish anywhere on the lake is my understanding.
Spray lake Reservoir tributaries are open June 16-August 31st – based on the regulations my understanding of this is any river or stream that empties into a lake or reservoir or larger stream – so my questions are.
If the reservoir is upstream can I fish that?
Can I fish where the river enters the reservoir as long as I am fishing inside the reservoir?
We always catch and release so I have been pinching barbs on hooks so I am not sure it matters but, I saw a sign somewhere that said all hooks must be barbless in Alberta, but I don’t see where that is in the regulations anywhere, I thought it would be in the Province Wide regs but I don’t see it in that section either.
So do all barbs need to be pinched in Alberta?
Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully answer my questions
