Waters Permanently Closed to Angling

[Steven Noel]

Note: This is not a rant about closed waters, or the reasons for the thier closure. Take that discussion elsewhere please.

I was just thinking today, if I could list off the top of my head, a compilation of waters in Alberta that are permanently closed to angling. Excluding the obvious ones.... hatchery ponds, urban man made lakes, I thought of.

-Jacques Lake: in Jasper

-The Three Creeks: in the Lovett River area (thier names elude me), that they've been conducting that study on, on the impact of logging around a creek

-The Inlets and Outlets of the Golden Trout alpine lakes.


There must be more...anyone?

Primrose Lake
Gull Lake Diverson Canal

A lot of lakes haves sections with Permanent closures. Ie. Moose, Calling, Pinehurst, Pigeon

Blackstone river upstream of Mons creek. Not sure how permanent the closure is.

[wildman]

pigeon at the rivermouth, north end of calling, lots more than one would initially think actually....

[fishpro]

Elbow River just below the falls, an upper section of the Sheep River.

The Ram river isn't closed to fishing. It is just catch and release until where Fall Creek runs into the main Ram river. New this year is Fall Creek below the falls to protect the Bull Trout.
