Whether you are an experienced angler or trying fishing for the first time, this tournament offers something for everyone to enjoy.

What Can You Expect at the Event?
Join us for a day full of fishing, learning, and connection with nature. You can borrow fishing rods and lures on-site, making it easy to participate—just bring yourself and your enthusiasm! Our fishing mentors will be available to assist newcomers, ensuring a welcoming and educational experience. We’ll also provide complimentary food and beverages while they last, so you can refuel after a day of casting lines. Plus, there will be free giveaways for youth, adding excitement to the day’s activities. Remember, Alberta Sportfishing Regulations apply to the event, so be prepared. If you’re under 16 or over 65 years old and a resident of Alberta, you can fish without a license. Adults accompanying children under 16 do not need a license as long as they’re not fishing.
