Sturgeon Sportfishing

Any angler who wishes to keep a sturgeon is required to hold a Sturgeon Fishing Licence in addition to a Sportfishing Licence. An Alberta Sportfishing Licence is also required unless you are under 16 years of age, an Alberta resident aged 65 or older, or a registered Indian.

An angler may only purchase one Sturgeon Fishing Licence per year.
The Sturgeon Fishing Licence is only valid for the keeping of one sturgeon per year over 130 cm in length from the South Saskatchewan River system (includes the Oldman, Bow and Red Deer rivers), and only during the time period of June 16 to March 15.

Fishing for sturgeon between May 8 and June 15 in the South Saskatchewan River system and in the North Saskatchewan River system throughout the entire year, is catch-and-release-only (0-limit).

Each sturgeon kept must be tagged immediately with the tag provided with the Sturgeon Fishing Licence. Do not remove this tag until the sturgeon is prepared for taxidermy or consumption.

A Sturgeon Fishing Licence does not permit the holder to use more lines than authorized by his or her Sportfishing Licence (see General Sportfishing Restriction.

This is not so in Alberta as you can read above.......We can get 1 special license per year to catch them , they have to be a specific length , and we do not have any system of tagging them in place ....so, fish on sturgeon lovers!!!
