I will be heading to middle Waterton lake soon, is bait allowed there? (I read the regulation but I just want to make sure.)

If it is anything like Banff then no bait, no leaded hooks or weights under 1 or 2 oz. I forget which it is.

Regs are not too hard to understand, but if you are still not sure then do not use bait.

Stop in at the park office when you are there. The website has changed it appears and is not clear, they will be able to tell you definitively.

In general, assume bait bans in National Parks

No bait

(yes, the link takes you Jasper, the general regs apply to ALL mountain parks, including Waterton)

I heard you can utilize St. Mary's Sculpin

No bait allowed.
Fished the park quite a bit this summer, including the three connecting lakes and river out.
