 Fishing 

Alberta is an angler's paradise, attracting novices and experts, with more than 600 lakes, 245 rivers and 315 spring-fed creeks and ponds. Whether you want to cast, troll or fly fish, get ready for a premium experience.

Residents and non-residents aged 16 to 65 require a licence to fish in Alberta. Licences are easily available online or at private issuers. Fishing in Alberta’s National Parks requires a separate, national licence, found at park information centres, campgrounds and sights of interest.
