border waters

[2eyesman2]

Quick qustion on fishing the St Croix river? I live in wisconson and my brother lives in minnesota. If he came out from the mn side and i came out from the sconny side could we fish anywhere on the river? I have a duel license and he just has a minny license, or is a split down the river?

I just read this in the regulations the other night so I think I got it right. I believe you both can fish the whole river but the rules you follow depend on which state you are licensed in. This applies to most border waters with the exception being the Rainy River. There you may only fish on the MN side with a MN license. Please chime in if I have something wrong there.

that sounds right fivebucks

I don't know of any border regs that actually have rules regarding the exact middle line of the river

The only reason i ask is if we fish, say where the apple river dumps in. Are we are both legal? I have a duel license in both states and i dont really keep much fish so i am not considered about limits! But then we on the sconny side of the river..and some times we jump up into that river a bit..that is my only concern. I guess i always assumed it was the border waters and tributaries...I dont like tickets...lol

The Apple is inland water isn't it. To me that would be off limits to Vikings fans.
