Free Family Fishing Weekend!
I hope YOU enjoyed or took part in the “Free Family Fishing Weekend” here in Alberta (July 10th and 11th).
Yeah, today I went down to “Stingray Flats” with my good buddy GScratch to try and hook another Sturgeon. When I showed up a “Fish Cop” was on the scene there. However, he was NOT checking licenses! Actually, he was out educating the public!
I showed him mine anyways, as it’s the first time I have been “checked” on the NSR in over 20 years fishing, and about the third in as many times fishing. I always have mine on me. So, of course I thanked him for his efforts in coming out to educate the public. He was still checking for other “violations of the law” such as barbed hooks. Yup, that’s a “no-no” in Alberta.
He reminded me, that even if I didn’t have my license it would be cool, as it was “Free Family Fishing” weekend. I forgots, or I would have blogged it. Anyways, the day turned out to be more like “Free Family Planning” fishing day. Uhm yeah, I caught me another snake skin on the NSR today.
Sorry, I had to cut the line on this one too. More pics here, and I will post some video on FiftyNorth.ca later.
