Fish and Wildlife officers have ceased charging people for using barbed hooks, and will not swear tickets issued since the change in the legislation.
Please feel free to contact if you require any more information.

Not sure if has been said but i'm going to read thru 5 pages of posts . Anyway from What I was told , that this is the case As Fisheries Canada is changing the Fisheries Act which makes Barbless law in Alberta no more . FOR NOW . But I have a feeling that as they re write the fisheries act , that all of Canada will become Barbless .
Even if its your allowed to use barbs , I wont be . Much easier to deal with a fish when your barbless . That's my Opinion anyway .
