I've fished in a few provinces and have seen the variety of regulations they have. Of BC, Alberta, and Ontario, Alberta is the only one that hasn't had restrictions on targeting certain species. If a person is truly targeting sturgeon, it will be obvious. However, as far as I know the only restrictions in Alberta are that you can't keep them, but there are no restrictions on targeting them. I guess if they wanted to limit the number of sturgeon caught they could implement a bait ban.
