Alberta Free Family Fishing Weekend
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. On July 11th and 12th, discover the joys of fishing in Alberta on some of our amazing bodies of water!
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 sport fishing licence. If you are using a Special Harvest Licence (Walleye tag), the purchase of a sportfishing licence is still required.
