walleye limit

Greg, we are just talking because we can't fish yet

I have a question. How does it work if I cross the border into Canada and catch my 6 fish and come back to the states. Will the ODNR accept my Canadian license as proof if I'm checked at the dock?

You cannot have more than your Ohio possesion limit with you or you will be sited, also you must have a valid Ohio licence with you! Example: If the limit would be 6 fish in Canada and 5 fish in Ohio then you could only bring back 5 fish and remain legal in the eyes of the ODNR. The ODNR does not know where you caught those fish and you Would Be in Ohio when you got checked where the daily limit is only 5 in possesion compared to 6 in Canada. As long as both limits are the same there would be no problem as long as you do not exceed the daily limit of 6 fish meaning you could catch 6 fish in canada and then return to dock or any combination between Ohio waters and Canada waters so long as you do not exceed 6 fish.
