What are the regs? Thoughts?
Okay looking for some clarity or thoughts. There is a stocked trout lake I am looking to clarify the regs for. In the fishing regs the general regs for the zone are 3 trout and open May 15 to March 31, however since this is a stocked lake the general regs for stocked lakes is 5 trout open all year. Any changes to regs for stocked lakes are listed in the tables for the zone. This lake is not listed in the tables for special regs, therefore I would assume it would follow the general regs for stocked lakes. The caveat here is that this lake is not listed as a stocked lake on pg 16 of the regs which is odd. It is shown on the map of the zone it is in preceding the regs as a stocked lake though. Since i disagreed with a buddy who thought the regs were 3 and i thought it was 5 I called Alberta Fish and Game. They tried to tell me the regs were 3 trout and open from May 15 to March 31 because that is what is listed on the website albertafishingguide.com. I said wait, your are using albertafishingguide.com to tell me the regs when on the website it has a disclaimer that it may not be accurate and check the actual fishing regs for legal regs? She then asked me how I knew it was a stocked lake, I said well its stocked every other year with non-native trout what else could it be. Anyway after expressing my thoughts she admitted she didnt know what the regs were and would have some get back to me. This was weeks ago and haven't heard a peep.
Any thoughts and the regs or what they should be?
