fishinglibin Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Taking some kids to fish chain and would like to feed them a trout dinner. Regs are not quite clear to me. Possession is 5 trout. Is that total or per person? And it does not state any size restrictions. A little input is appreciated. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 5 per license holder. If the kids are under 16 are allowed 5 must follow regs. No size limit if it's not stated in the regs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishpro Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Is this new? I always thought that under 16 had their own limit in Alberta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Under 16 do not need a license but need to adhere to regs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinglibin Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Agreed on under sixteen and over 64 no license but same reg rules. Thanks for clearing that up Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Are we crossing wire here?By following the regs, the kids under 16 ARE allowed their own limit. They just don't need to purchase the license. In the scenario of a father and 2 kids going fishing at Chain Lakes, they are collectively allowed 15 fish. Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinglibin Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 I believe so Smitty. They stock many thousand every year, and I have seen many harvest the limit. Mostly pan size, I will not take the full limit, but just enough to feed them and me. likely 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Paul, I hope they don't mind the taste of mud P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinglibin Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 I have fished Chain but always release, and yet see everyone harvest. Did not realize they are mud fish. May not after all then.The kids wanted to try them so thought one fry but may just go for fish and chips after instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Paul, For sure have them try it, but in my exp. stockers just aren't that great! Let's take the kids fishing for some brookies!! Now dem good eatin!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinglibin Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yes they are good. Was thinking the easy route to get kid into a few fish. May have to discuss this good idea further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
