blinktwice Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I used the search function, i used google, and checked abfishing guide http://www.albertafishingguide.com/location/water/all/bow-river-downstream-carseland-weir I do NOT understand the zones, nor does it seem i know the city very well. If i fish under the glenmore bridge by deerfoot meadows...by all the car dealerships. What is that considered? I BELIEVE it is this http://www.albertafishingguide.com/location/water/all/bow-river-downstream-whd-weir I would really appreciate a double check on that...because if i click the "fishing zone" i get this for blue ribbon and back to confusion http://www.albertafishingguide.com/location/water/all/bow-river-downstream-whd-weir#zone Thanks a lot!

ÜberFly Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 From (now) Harvie Passage (previously the W.H.D. Weir - is the boundry). Open all year. Down to Caresland weir. from the Western Headworks Diversion (W.H.D.) Weir downstream to the Carseland Weir (includes 500 m of the Highwood River and the 3 Carburn Park Ponds) but excluding all waters in the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary (see Inglewood Bird Sanctuary) – Open all year. So you are good! http://www.albertaregulations.ca/fishingregs/es1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutlover Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The river is open from Harveys passage to carsland weir all year round that is basically from the 17th AVE bridge in Calgary to the town of Carseland. I don't know what the regs are for keeping fish in this area I think they change throughout the season. If you just release all the fish you catch this wont be a problem. Where you are fishing is open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonAndersen Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Blink... Your error may be caused by your information source. Both other responders used the Alberta Govt Regulations whereas you we using an "Internet" source. Be very careful with internet sourcing. Errors will exist.

SilverDoctor Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Always check the official regulations, the "Alberta Fishing Guide" is just that, a guide not the source document. You'll notice they have a disclaimer at the top of the page and a link to the real regulations. I wonder how many people will be caught by this.
