Seeing 357xp pic of that neat looking fisher got me thinking how far south in Alberta does a trapper consistently catches fisher? I know I have never caught one, my Zone isn't even open to trap

Lots of fisher on line by Edson, even have fisher around Wabamun lake, so good chance they migrate further south. Brian B mentioned very few fisher on his two traplines by Grand Cache.

We have a pretty good sized fisher running around the campsite near Devon. Wish we'd have a marten or two to keep the red squirrels in check!

Had a fisher hanging around my hunting spot for a couple years out by Onoway, gave me a show one evening and got pics of it on my cameras every now and then. Isn’t around anymore, last picture I got was with it in a coyote jaws going past my camera.

The Cooter , Gator and my self called one in to a Coyote call once. Was hilarious to watch him hump in across an open field. We were South of Vermillion. The next one I saw was on the river flats just in side Jasper National Park. Dogfish

We have them our place south of Calmar, they are great for keeping the cat population down. Spent a lot of time watching them.

Interesting animals.

There is a handful down in the southeast so wouldn’t be surprised if you had one there.
