Canadian license

[gregnwtf]

The link in previous post is for Ontario Ministeries. You need and outdoor card,thats $9 and good for 3 years. Print that out and keep the paper till you get the wallet card in the mail. Then pick your choice of a one day or season lic. One day is like 20 bucks for perch walleye bass. Buy the conservation lic, and its about 42 bucks. for perch bass and only a couple walleye per day. The full lic for season is about 80 bucks. These you print out on the computer and pay with credit card online. Keep this paper on you and dry. The other thing you have to do is call Canada by phone before you cross. They ask for all names, birthdays, boat color etc and hull #, how long and where fishing at. Any questions on this just stop by or call the border patrol office on 53 in Port Clinton. Its a little bit of hassle to go over the line but the fishing is so good most of the year. Once you do the routine a couple times its easy. JUST DONT TOUCH LAND unless emergency ! If you do, be prepared to spend the day with them. Coming back across the line back to US, you have a good possibility of being stopped, followed etc, by our Border Patrol and asked questions about where you come from and could search the boat. Best thing to do is just call the guys at the Rt. 53 BP office and let them tell you so you don't get any bad info. I go over during late summer and fall and have never had much of a problem, I have been stopped, followed , asked questions, been ashore, but the fishing is good. A passport or passcard is a good idea to have some pc of mind.
