Default 2023 Fishing Regs Alberta

Has anyone seen or heard what’s happening with the 2023/2024 regulations for Alberta?

I asked at the Alberta environment booth at the Edmonton sportsman show and was greeted with “we hope to have something for April 1st”? I find it scary that in a province with very few fishing options that it seems we have no forward thinking conservation plans for our fishing populations.

It’s 2 days till the new season! Ridiculous!

Thanks
Tony

Just because a vendor gets $$ for doing something doesn’t mean they prioritize that customer. A lot of government agencies send bids out for trucks or boats or snowmobile etc… once the contract is awarded, unless it specifically mentions a time frame they get put at the back of the line. Had a buddy wait for over 8 months to get his new snowmobile for work. Vendor got the $$ and since it was a govt bid they probably sold it at a bit of a discount, so there’s no real incentive to focus on getting the govt their item when there’s a line up of private sales waiting where the real $$ is made.

I don't think the government works over the weekend, so if the 2023-24 reg won't come out by tomorrow, does that mean we could do whatever we want on April 1?
I'm pretty sure we could buy the license for 2023-24 season now. If the regulation is not in place, then we won't be able to violate any rules, since...there is no rules set.
I personally won't challenge it, but it is so funny to think about.

Buy your license and fish on till a set of rules that should accompany said license becomes publicly available. I'm pretty sure they will have them available on line at least by midnight tomorrow. Loopholes are loopholes, on rare occasions it's on the other foot.

It would be logical to assume the 2022 regulations being valid until the 2023 ones are posted.

Relax. I'm sure the world will keep turning and the fish will keep swimming.

Will somebody please think of the Luxilus cornutus!!
