Figured it was time for a new thread, even if it isn't quite time for fishing.

I went down to the river for a look this afternoon. It may be a day or two yet. ;)

So,, I wanna stay compliant.

Following 2023 regs, I would observe the same dates?

Lakes in PP1 are open year round.
Water is open now, but an hour+ drive.

River opened on May 7th, 2023.
I assume I shouldn't be fish'n in there, before May 7th, unless they publish differently.

Is that how you would read it, @Amarok ?

Yup. (pathetic how they haven't been ready with new regs 2 years in a row)


Here's the individual lake regs for PP1.
Most are closed right now, Mar 15- May 8

Same for most streams, the exceptions being listed here: (EG Bow is open year round)

With a new fishing license and the gear in the back, I went for a drive and did a bit of walking yesterday. Still a ways to go yet before I'll be fishing, but I'm ready.

I like the difference in light and mood in these two photos, one facing upstream and one downstream.

I've been to the river a couple times. Might have had a nibble, but that was it. Haven't even seen a jumper. Thinking I'll slip down first thing tomorrow and see if I can catch an early riser or two.
Still a ways off from sturgeon prime time, but I'm already looking forward to that. Nice to know I'm all geared up with the big baitcasters spooled up and ready for the dinos.

In the meantime, young Zach just posted a video that was taken at a spot I've been fishing since before he was born. A provincial record walleye came out of this hole back in the day(not by me). I've had some good trips there over the decades, though I haven't been for a few years. Maybe I'll drive over next week if my spots don't pick up. :)
