Alberta Fishing Week is currently running from Feb. 15-22.

The week includes Family Fishing Weekend (Feb. 15-17), when Albertans can experience the fun of fishing without a licence.

Any public body of water is fair game. Other regulations still apply and fishing inside a national park still requires a licence.
