Age limit

[Shaggy]

I can't find the info in the regs, but I know someone here knows. Do kids under the age of 16 need to be accompanied by a licensed adult when they are fishing?

Thanks

[Dust1n]

[Shaggy]

Perfect. Thanks guys.

My kids are really happy now.

minnow trap, seine net or dip net to collect bait fish for non-commercial use.

2 A portion of the cost of each licence is distributed to:

•Alberta Conservation Association to fund the Fisheries Habitat Development Program, the
Fisheries Management Enhancement Program and the Enhanced Fish Stocking Program;
•General Revenue; and
•IBM to finance the administration of the automated licensing system.
3 All residents of Canada are eligible to buy a Resident Sportfishing Licence. A resident is a person who has his or her only or primary residence in Canada and

•is a Canadian citizen or is admitted to permanent residence in Canada, or
•has lived in Canada for the immediately preceding 12-month period.
An Alberta resident is a person who is a resident of Canada and has their only or primary residence in Alberta.

4 A person who is not a resident of Canada and who is age 16 or older must hold a valid Non-Resident

BUT If you wanna get the walleye draw its the cost of the Win card and then 10.50 but only Alberta residents are allowed to apply for the Walleye draw .
