Comprised of angling groups, indigenous and business representation, the committee was charged with working together for the collective good of Alberta’s recreational fisheries. The group has been calling for a third party science review and while the province agreed to it last year, progress has stalled.Ī provincial Fishery Stakeholder Advisory Committee was struck early last year. The Next Step Team, comprised of anglers, business people, municipal politicians and Fish and Game organizations, has decried Alberta Environment and Parks fishery biologists’ science, describing it as a flawed approach to managing the fisheries resource. Instead, Northern pike harvest limits have been reduced to zero in several lake in the northeast region including Lac La Biche, Pinehurst, Heart, Elinor, Fork, Jackson, Blackett, Kinnaird, Ironwood, Whitefish, Goodfish, Logan and Piche, among others, according to Makowecki. “Our team has actively recommended increased harvest of the large walleye populations to allow for recovery of declining pike, perch and lake whitefish in several lakes.” “Making numerous regulatory changes for 2019 to further restrict harvest of Northern pike in several lakes is a major disappointment to the Next Step Team,” Ray Makowecki, volunteer fisheries biologist and the spokesman for the Next Step Team, noted in an open statement late last month.
With further restrictions to angling opportunities in the region, some local anglers and business owners are again questioning the science behind the decisions. Press T again and it will allow you to fast-forward until morning at which point in time you will automatically sell whatever is in your keepnet and be prompted to purchase a new day's worth of travel accommodations (see 'Cost Per Day' below) allowing you to continue to fish without paying the initial Travel Cost anew.The 2019 edition of the Alberta sportfishing regulations are being met with about as much enthusiasm as last year’s were.
To do this, once you have filled the keepnet, press T to advance Time past 9pm. While leveling, it is recommended that you have the largest keepnet available when traveling to a new location as you will often need to continue to fish at that location for more than one day in order to recuperate the travel costs.
