A limit of 0 means catch and release. Limits are per angler, in the province's words. Alberta Guide to Sportfishing Regulations, read from the province's regulation service . The province's regulations map, opens in a new tab.
Time-of-day restrictions can apply here. This water is inside the area where the province restricts angling hours between 1 July and 1 September when the Bow River at Carseland runs above 20°C for 3 days and below the 25th flow percentile for 4 days. Whether one is in force is announced on the province's advisories page, opens in a new tab, not here.
No hydrometric station covers Elbow River. Flow comes from whoever was last standing in it.
