jerkin'm Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I'm pretty sure smelt has been banned in all forms in Ontario for quite some time, I'm sure Hemlock will comment as well. The concept is that they don't want them spread to their waters I believe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwanny Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 There are certain parts of Canada that don't allow you to use frozen smelt as bait. I think frozen smelt are allowed in the the Thunder Bay area and west a ways. Anyway this is the way it is written in their game laws. What part of Canada were you in?

Dennis Steele Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Not sure if anyone has asked this yet? Getting to be a very long thread...Can a guy bring along a few venison steaks to enjoy on the grill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemlock Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Dennis, I called with that question to the Fort Francis border crossing and they said: "No, they are not allowing it in." I said, "Who's not allowing it in?" They said, "The department of Agriculture." OK, I guess that's that. Sorry dude. I've got some tenderloins left from last year if you want some. (Acutually, that's some MN deer in my freezer, oops) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Steele Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Thanks Hemlock. I was affraid it might be a problem. Oh well, maybee we will just pick up some steak up there. That Canadian beef is pretty darn good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishlips Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Haven't been thru the International Falls border for several years....what is the average time in line on a Saturday morning? Heading up to Minnitaki in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyepatrol Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Usually we get in line by or before 7:00am, and it's usually not too bad if I remember. Just a few vehicles is all. One year I think we hit it at around 9:00 or 10:00am and it was close to a 45min. wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikeStrike Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Fishlips,Best thing to do is check out http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/general/times/menu-e.html for the updated wait times. I've been watching it as well. Times into Canada last Saturday were 30 min at 7:00 and a 60 min at 9:00. It didn't ease up until after 2PM.

Lakeside Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Hey Pikestrike was the traffic patteren any different this week than last? How about the wait times on the sad southbound return trip? That direction has been a lot longer wait the past several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikeStrike Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 This weekend the wait was a bit longer in Intl Falls according to the HSOforum. Into Canada it was already over an hour at 8 AM and cooled off to 30 min at 2 PM. Going the other way, the peak (of 2 hours) was at 1 PM though it was still 90 mins at 2PM.

DickUrban Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 We are going to Lake St. Joe this month and I know we can't take raw potatoes accross the Canadian border. How about frozen hash browns? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocf Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 pretty sure you can but hemlock can verify that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknamy Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Processed potatoes, such as hashbrowns are fine. Just no raw spuds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottco Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Quote: Items in question: No potatoes. Canned potatoes are allowed as are frozen hashbrowns, ole's etc. Just not raw, in bag, potatoes. Beef is allowed. Must be less than 10 pounds. Does that mean I can bring 10 pounds of dried or jerked beef or a combination? Also - I have 1/2 pound blocks of 8 & 10 year old cheddar - can I bring that with? Going to Kasba On a side note - how buggie is NW Territory in August - should I bring a head net?

Voyageur Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Planning a duck hunting trip to Manitoba this Fall. As far as I know noone in our party has any criminal record to worry about. However, I was wondering if there is any way to get "pre-approved" (ie sending in paperwork ahead of time so we and Canada know we are good to go) as to guarantee entry so we don't have to turn back at the border because of some surprise. Thanks for a great thread Hemlock! -Voyageur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottco Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Voyaguer - I took my dad to the NW Sports show in March and picked up a "know before you go" booklet from US Customs booth - their phone number is 877-237-5511. You might want to call and ask that question. As for the booklet, it is not country specific, and gives only shallow examples of what to bring or not. I am a Litchfield native - My best to you on your upcoming trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimilarIsland Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 "One case" Is that by the day? We've always brought 3-5 cases per person for seven days. Sorry, I'm practicing right now! Oops. That's why we paid that tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingmeatwad Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Quote:Come now fellow fishermen .Your tourists in our land and as tourist spend some money and leave alot of your stuff at home because if you don't your considered squatters . You get a great exchange on your dollar and your GST back which is more than us residents do so if your going to play amongst us and use our resources also share a bit of your cash because we pay for it in spades . I'm not saying you should buy big ticket items but bait,booze,gas ,fidos food etc . Come on ,,,don't be so frigging cheap . Even when I travel further north in Ontario I try to help boost the economy of the area I'm fishing in and I don't get more for my dollar or GST back as you do. TD haha, now the exchange is horrible, the prices are high and there is no return on our GST now :-)My how times can change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgff009 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'm heading to Ontario in 2 weeks - what can I expect the duty to be on case of beer #2? I generally only bring my allowance and buy more in Canada. However, my fishing buddy is telling me it's cheaper to bring everything across and pay the duty. I'm not convinced so I'm looking to see what people are "really" paying.--Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
