Each year, during the Family Day long weekend in February and in the second weekend of July. Anyone can fish without an Alberta Sport Fishing Licence. Alberta Sport Fishing Regulations still apply.
Cast your line in the main pond in Hermitage Park or the North Saskatchewan River.
Fishing on shore or in a boat is a fun way to enjoy the outdoors.
Warning
The North Saskatchewan River can be unpredictable, with fast moving water, strong surface and underwater currents, hidden hazards such as underwater debris, floating trees and wood, a muddy bottom and a shoreline and uneven surfaces. This presents a greater risk of injuries, accidents and even drowning if appropriate safety measures are not taken.
Please check water levels, water quality notices and advisories from the City of Edmonton, Edmonton Police Services (EPS), Edmonton Fire Rescue Services (EFRS), Alberta Health Services and Alberta Environment and Parks or visit North Saskatchewan regional planning for more information.
