Hiddenbay Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Is the beer on the Canadian side different than the beer sold in the states. I am talking about LaBatts. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croixeyes Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Some of it is stronger in alcohol content,there are several kinds of Batts up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiddenbay Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks for the quick answer. I usually buy LaBatts Blue and it does taste better in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croixeyes Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The surroundings may play a role in that also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickUrban Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I know that we cannot take fresh potatoes accross the border - how about sweet potatoes or yams? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagger Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Sorry if this was already covered and I missed it.........can you bring preserved minnows? I'm pretty sure you can't bring frozen minnows but I was hoping to buy some packages of preserved minnows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1900 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Preserved/salted minnows are good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetroWalleye Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Sorry if this question has been asked before, but is there any restrictions on the number of cigars a guy can take into Canada? I've read that you can have a carton of cigs and a roll of chewing tobacco, but I haven't seen anything on cigars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1900 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 50 cigars. If you can smoke that many in 7 days, you officially have an "iron stomach". I take one per day. It is the only time of year I smoke cigars. Love em!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machohorn Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Dot they still have that fungus that dogs get? I was hoping to bring mine up , but looking at the first few pages way back from 2005 is says,"Leave them at home" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1900 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't think that stuff disappears anytime soon, couldn't tell you if it is affected by winter. I always brought the hound along, but don't want to take the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemlock Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 I have a dog, and live up here, as many people do, of course. It is a fairly common fungus that dogs get. When I say "common" it wouldn't keep me from bringing Rex, if they love swimming, laying in the boat, etc, as much as my pup.There's a risk, but not very high.

MetroWalleye Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Last year our group ran out of beer while we were up there and had to run into town to buy another case....which cost $40. That same case of Labatts cost me $18 in the Twin Cities.I know the rule is one case of beer or 1 litre of booze for each legal adult. My question: I've heard you can bring more booze across the border, but you have to pay the duty on it. Is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngie22 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I would use the duty free stores right at the border. bring your one case each and then stop their. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorthonalake Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Cheaper to pay duty. Can't remember what the duty is, but it's still cheaper. I will find out next week when I go across the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnum mike Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Last year it was about $8 per case for beer. Liquor is more but I can't remember. Call customs in Ft Frances and ask to be sure. You can get the phone number off the net. I did in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysonthemove Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Boy did they see you coming.We had a similiar deal happen we were way back in the boonies. Got in our boat and casted all our rods were broke. Next morning ran 4 hrs into town and bought 3 new junk, walmart brand rods for 350 bucks. what do you do, pay the price and go. Better than fishing with your big toe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dock Boy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hey Guys, I'm headed to Pickle Lake ON early on Thursday morning. Wondering how much gas can we take across. I'm wanting to fill 3 5 gallon tanks to bring with me up there. Any rule against bringing it across. Also wanted to know if anyone knows of a good spot to buy minnow at on our way. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimilarIsland Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I doubt you'll have a problem with 15 extra gallons. I always take more than that and have never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartman Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 One can of gas(6 gallons/US) per person into Canada. Better be traveling with two buddies, or you might have to pay the difference between US and CAN gas prices for the 15 gallons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outfitter17 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I don't know what you are talking about Heartman? I have guests bring extra gas up to camp all the time and not one time in the past 10 years of owning my camps has any guest ever to: (you might have to pay the difference between US and CAN gas prices)?Please explain what you are talking about.

SimilarIsland Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yep, I brought 50 in the Spring and 70 in the Fall. Just don't bring potatoes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Manitou Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 We bring in multiple cans of gas per person every trip, and have never been questioned about it even when they see all the cans when doing their quick spot check in the back of the vehicle.
