I thought this thread was about fee increases for out of province fishermen which is long overdue,

Breakdown:

Per dollar:

$0.64 is distributed to the Alberta Conservation Association. For more information on how funds are used to support Fisheries programs, please visit www.ab-conservation.com

$0.31 is used for licensing allocation and administration providing compensation to the Service Provider and the network of private Licence Issuers as well as provides funds for programs to monitor fish populations. For more information, visit mywildalberta.com

$0.05 goes to Government of Alberta General Revenue Fund

This is found in the regs.

Again, the licence fees do not go to the government!

Sorry Oko, not directed to just you.

If you plan to fish in the south, there's not much for walleye left after the Southern Alberta Pelican Feeders have their tournaments anyways.

Here is a little perspective from an out-of-province angler in town in June for some fishing in three lakes. That is roughly 100 hours of boat time, so about sixty cents per hour for the licence fee.

During that 100 hours, I can reasonably expect to catch upwards of 200 walleye and a pail full of toothy critters, which aren't fish so don't count. That would work out to be about thirty cents per fish caught - and released.

Either way, those are cheap days in terms licence fees and I thank you for letting me come back for another year.
