Trying to talk with a fish and wildlife officer

[Fishwhere]

Hey guys, ive been trying to get ahold of a fish and wildlife officer for over a week to no avail. I thought i remembered that we had a section on here once that you could message them directly. Does someone know a way that i can get in contact with them?

Thanks

they are GoA employees ... therefore write an email stating your claim and the individual and address it to your MLA the ombudsman, and intergovernmental affairs - should have a response within 4 - 12 hours .. copy the Premier as well for giggles

Emailing my questions to SRD.InfoCent@gov.ab.ca worked well for me.

The phone number given has been called and i have left voicemails for the past 2 weeks with no response. And i also just tried to send an email to the last email address given of the infocenter.... and it doesnt exist anymore or something

I honestly either go down to an office near you, or go fish a busy spot and wait for an officer to come check you then you can ask him. Tried calling, they don't return calls and I've tried emails and they down't answer them either aside from the auto generated response saying they received it and will be in touch.

What do you need to know? Any question from gum drops to aero science can be easily answered in the general section.

True... but any question on fishing generally only gets you "Go check you're regs."

Based on my last conversation with a F&W officer, you may be underwhelmed.

The question is if i can legally bowfish lake whitefish. From what i can see it is legal because the lake im looking at is not listed on the no bowfishing/spearfishing lakes. And also lake whitefish are not listed in the section of what i cant shoot. But also the legality of shooting a bow while on a boat or potentially near other people while on the lake.

Its pretty unusual so i want to make sure im clean with the regulations as well as any sort of shooting a bow law.

What i want is an answer from a fish officer so if i get hasseled or called in by people i have done my due dilligence and not get some enormous fine.
