UNIT NB1 ZONE 3 NORTHERN BOREAL

Transcription

1 ZONE 3 A vast area of central and northern Alberta consists of boreal forest. Throughout the boreal forest, many of the streams are low gradient, brown water streams from muskeg drainages. These streams are tributaries within larger watersheds, which in turn are part of the major drainage basins of the Athabasca, Peace and Hay rivers. The majority of the lakes in Alberta occur in the boreal forest zone. The popular game fish of the zone are yellow perch, northern pike, walleye, lake whitefish, Arctic grayling and lake trout. Zone 3 is subdivided into four Watershed Units (NB1 NB4). ZONE 3 GENERAL REGULATIONS 1. Provincewide regulations on pages 20 to 26 apply to Zone 3. Additional restrictions are set out in this part. 2. Important Definitions appear on page Limit: The number of fish you are allowed to keep while fishing at a water body is equal to the limit listed for each species or group of species at that water body. 4. Possession: The number of fish of each species you may possess at the end of a fishing trip, regardless of the number of days fished, is equal to a 1-day limit at the water body fished and includes fish stored at home. 5. In these regulations, a Lake Whitefish limit includes Cisco (tullibee). 6. In these regulations, a Goldeye limit includes Mooneye. 7. All fish kept from Zone 3 count as part of the provincewide possession, which must not be exceeded (see Provincewide Maximum Possession page 22). 8. Bait Fishing: (see definition for bait on page 19). 9. Ice fishing: Angling is not permitted through the ice; a) into beaver ponds or b) into flowing waters. Watershed Unit NB1 the Beaver River watershed and the Athabasca River watershed between the north boundary of Township 78 (near Pelican River) and Sec. Rd. 813 (near the town of Athabasca), including the Calling River watershed, and the La Biche River watershed (NOTE: the tributary watersheds, including several lakes in the Lakeland District, entering on the left [north] bank of the North Saskatchewan River downstream of Highway 38 near Redwater are also part of Unit NB1). Arctic Grayling limit 0 throughout Alberta. (see page 55 for information on Arctic Grayling identification). NB1 Watershed Unit Regulations BAIT FISHING 8 Fishing with bait, including bait fish, in NB1 lakes and streams is allowed except at locations listed with Bait Bans under NB1 Lake and Stream Listings.
