No fishing after sunset
Can someone explain to me the reasoning behind the no fishing after sunset rule on some Alberta lakes.
Thanks.

There were issues with poaching at night at these lakes.

interesting, so how about the winter, with many more hours of darkness, and people fishing in private tents or shacks? poachers afraid of the cold?just curious, Ive wondered at the reasoning myself.

It could be (and this is just a personal opinion) that the biologists are trying to protect the Walleye population as much as possible. The larger Walleye feed primarily at night and if you want to protect your large breeding stock it makes sense to restrict fishing during their prime feeding time.

I suppose people are able to cover more water and distance in the summer...But you do make a good point Wayne...just think there would be less of an impact through a couple of holes, and the fish are less active in the winter -generally speaking- summer nights- the walleye are easier to catch after sunset and before sunrise in shallower water and people can dissapear in a hurry. No getting stuck in the snow or leaving tracks even mantracker could follow...

Poaching is bad, fishing at night bad, Commercial fishing on some Alberta lakes, Oh that's ok, as long as the someone makes some money. I still can't figure that one out?

Gang Poaching
Maybe 15 yeers ago there were gangs of poachers fishing at night
at places like CVR... They were coming out of calgary by the bus load Arrests were made charges laid , and no night fishing laws were brought in .
Now these groups are poaching in broad daylight ( PCR ) with impunity
knowing chances of getting caught are slim ....
Citizens arrest ...RAP....????
If you google the herald and fish poaching you may get the story....

It is noted in the regulations for the affected waterbodies: it is not all inclusive. I can't tell you when the regulation came into effect for each affected body.
