ES1 Watershed Unit Regulations ES1 SPOTLIGHTED REGULATIONS

Transcription

1 ZONE 1 consists of the mountains and foothills that form the Eastern Slopes along the Rocky Mountains from Montana to the Grande Prairie region. Throughout this zone, tributary creeks flow into larger streams, which in turn are tributaries to major rivers. These watersheds, with their alpine and foothills lakes, and their clear, cold rivers and tributaries, support numerous trout and mountain white populations, as well as Arctic grayling populations in the north. Sporting regulations are summarized for each of the following four Watershed Units: the Oldman and Bow rivers (ES1), the Red Deer and North Saskatchewan rivers (ES), the Athabasca and Pembina rivers (ES3), and the Smoky River (ES4). EMERGENCY STREAM CLOSURES Alberta Environment and Parks may announce short-term emergency stream closures throughout Zone 1 in response to drought conditions resulting in low stream flows and warmer water temperatures. Sporting regulations at the affected streams or watersheds would be suspended and ing not allowed for the duration of the emergency period. WATERSHED UNIT ES1 the Oldman River watershed upstream of Secondary Road 509 near Coalhurst and the Bow River watershed upstream of Highway 4 near Carseland.
