PLEASE read this entire page before clicking the AlbertaRelm link to buy your WIN number (also known as your WIN card) and Alberta Provincial Fishing License. The information on this page explains the process and the areas that we are fishing. We are located right on the lines between three fishing jurisdictions; Alberta, B.C. and the National Parks, all of which require a different fishing license. There is a help phone number at the bottom of this page. The fishing license that we require is an Alberta Provincial Fishing License. You must first purchase a WIN # (wildlife identification number). Once you have purchased a WIN # the system allows you to purchase a one day Alberta Provincial Fishing License. (a five day and annual license are also available) Please fill in the exact date that we are fishing. If you are from a country other than Canada and are only fishing one day then the one day fishing license is the least expensive. As of 2015 total cost is $36.36 ($8 WIN #+ $26.63 one day license + tax $1.73) There are no vendors in Lake Louise, Banff or Jasper that sell Alberta Provincial Fishing Licenses and if you are buying one in those towns you are not purchasing the license required to go on a guided fishing trip with my company. To Purchase your WIN # and one day Alberta Provincial Fishing License click on: Once on the AlbertaRelm home page you click "purchase a license" then click "click here if you are a new customer" fill in all the details and that will get you your WIN #. This WIN # then becomes your user name, you create a password and are able to re-enter the system to purchase a fishing license. Click "purchase a license" again and this time click "click here to access your WIN account for the first time on the new AlbertaRelm". Enter your WIN # and password. This will get you to the fishing and hunting license page of the site which allows you to purchase your one day Alberta Sport fishing license. (you can buy a five day or annual license as well) Your license will be sent to your email address. Kindly print your license, sign it and have it in your pocket prior to pick-up. You must be able to show a printed copy of your license to our Fish and Wildlife Rangers if they check us. There is one store within 100 miles that sells this license over the counter; Wapti Sports 1506 Railway Ave. in Canmore. They are open from 9am to 6pm and are closed on Sundays and occasionally are "Gone Fishing" any day of the week. Buying a fishing license the day we fish is a bit chancy and if there is a line up for licenses it can take an eternity. Please buy your license in advance on-line if possible. Last minute bookings are possible and on those days we will stop at Wapti Sports to get your fishing licenses. Early starts are not possible unless you have your license in hand. If you are under the age of 16 no fishing license is required. If you already have a WIN # but have misplaced it or have trouble with the on-line web site call the AlbertaRelM Help desk at 1 888 944-5494. Thank You. |
