Alberta residents can fish for free in any public water body in Alberta, outside the national parks, that has an open fishing season on July 8th and 9th. This event coincides with National Fishing Week. Alberta presents two free fishing weekends each year: the summer free fishing weekend and another in February to coincide with Family Day.

When angling, make sure to follow Alberta sportfishing regulations: www.albertaoutdoorsmen.ca/fishingregs/index.html
