Description
Fishing is a fun way for friends and family to make memories while connecting with some of Alberta’s greatest natural resources - our lakes, rivers, streams and the fish that live in them.
During Family Fishing Weekends, Albertans and visitors are encouraged to give fishing a try on waterbodies with open fishing seasons without having to purchase a sportfishing licence. If you are using a Special Harvest Licence (Walleye tag), the purchase of a sportfishing licence is still required
Alberta hosts two Family Fishing Weekends each year:
- February – over the Family Day long weekend
- July – during the weekend following Canada Day
National Fishing Week occurs each year during the second week of July.
