Going back to Canada fishing for the first time in over 10 years,,, Some quesitons


Recommended Posts

Things have changed quite a bit since I was last up there.

I will be bringing my 15 year old son.

I have dug around in some of the online sites to gather some info, but I am feeling lazy and thought I would ask here to get some general answers.

I have ordered my Outdoors card and NR fishing license.

I have my sons application for a passport card ready to submit.

I have my passport card.

Are the passport cards sufficient to cross the US/Canadian borders?

Does my son need an Outdoors card?

Does my son need any fishing license? I dont believe so from what I have read.

Do I need to have his birth certificate with me to cross the border or is the passport card enough?

Whats new on bringing bait into Canada? Can we bring anything any more?

Any other goofy restrictions I should know about?

He can fish without a license but it goes against your limit. I think that is until he is 16 then he needs a license and card.

If mom isn't coming, have a letter from her saying she knows about it and approves.

Bait hasn't changed in years. Crawlers are the only live bait you can bring but they have to be in bedding only. No dirt, moss or anything organic.

As was said, if you want your son to keep a limit he will need the card and the license (just like in Minnesota.) You can do it all on-line. You can then print out the paper with card number and license and that is all you need. Plastic card will come in the mail later.

Just make sure you know where mom is with a phone number at the time you cross but almost certainly not an issue.

Crawlers fine not packed in dirt (shredded newsprint is great.)

Have a great trip!

If he has a passport card, birth certificate is NOT necessary. FYI this is a US requirement, not Canada, but they will like to see his card to speed up the crossing.

FYI, if he's 15 at the time you are going he is not required to have a passport, that kicks in for the U.S. side at the age of 16, otherwise he can cross with a birth certificate and a note from Mom as stated above. Canada will let him in with the same credentials, they don't care if you have a passport or not, no matter what the age...... although it does make crossing smoother IMO.
