The following is not a complete list as the regulations change annually so please refer to the latest Alberta Fishing Regulations for the most up-to-date information.Since 2005, this site has diarized my life in the world of food. By adjusting regulations (winter closures, bait bans, reduced keep limits) and limiting the amount of fish stocked each year, anglers have the opportunity to test their mettle against trout that are larger than what otherwise may have been available.Īs of 2022, there are 23 Quality Stocked Lakes in the province. What is a Quality Stocked Fishery?Ī Quality Stocked Fishery is specifically managed to produce larger than average trout. I appreciate that the province has created some diversity in the trout stocking program so that anglers who would rather catch and release one or two big fish have just as much opportunity as anglers that are fishing for a good meal. While I consider myself mainly an angler for sport, I will take home the odd fish for a meal. I love stillwater trout fishing and many of the largest trout I’ve caught have come from Quality Stocked Lakes in the province. Of the roughly 800 fishable lakes in the province, 294 of them are stocked with some species of trout – that’s 37% of all our lakes! With trout fishing so overwhelmingly popular it’s no wonder the province has introduced a Quality Stocked Fishing program. The popularity of stillwater trout fishing has really taken off over the last several years and providing quality angling opportunities has become a priority for the province’s fisheries management. Thanks to changing fishing regulations, opportunities for trophy-sized trout now exist in many lakes throughout the province. Alberta is home to some of the best trout fishing on the planet but not all the credit is due to our streams along the east slopes.
