NB1 SPOTLIGHTED REGULATIONS. NB1 Watershed Unit Regulations

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). NB1 SPOTLIGHTED REGULATIONS Bait Fishing: (see definition for bait on page 15) 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 have a 0 limit throughout Alberta. See Species at Risk on page 14. 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.
