I may be wrong but the "high water mark" deals with coastal waters that have a tide. The moment you walk on a bank in flowing water in Alberta you are trespassing if you have not gained permission.
I have fished the Raven for over 30 years without any issue with permission. I am quite familiar with the individual you are referring to. I know even if you are in the middle of the river he will have issue, but if you are on the bank he has an argument. I know of several landowners that will put notes on vehicles reminding them of permission to access lands surrounding that river if the anglers intention is to be walking the banks and they have policy in their favor.
