Hey everyone i have fished with a rod when i was a kid and personally i didnt really like it and i just recently found out about bowfishing.I was just wondering if anyone knows the rules about bowfishing in alberta or if it is even legal to do so
the other question i have is for fishing lisences i have read the alberta goverment website and from what i have read i will need a WIN number and a sportsfishing lisence can someone tell me if this is true or do i need more or less then these
