The Alberta Free Family Fishing Weekends are the perfect time to get hooked on fishing!  These weekends happen twice a year (during the Family Day long weekend in February and one weekend in the month of July) and allow Albertans and visitors alike to fish without a license. Keep in mind that all other fishing regulations still apply, waterbodies in national parks are not included, and the stream/river/lake you choose to fish in must be open for fishing.

Alberta Free Family Fishing Weekends:

Date: February 15-17, 2025 and July 13-14, 2025
Venue: Various lakes around Alberta
