we're going to Canada this summer for a week. what are some of the regs. up there? i've heard you can only have one rod on the water at a time, not sure if this is true? also any rigs for pike, for spinning tackle.
thanks,

Hi WWFF,
The regs will differ between the provences. Which one are you going to? Regardless, you should get a booklet with the regs when you buy your licence, so read that as well.

oops sorry, will be in Ontario, i'm 15 will i be needing a liscence?
Sorry, spinning tackle has been outlawed. Might as well leave it at home. In fact, I think if they catch you with it they flog you with an old Winston. Might change depending what state you are in tho. :twisted:
:lol: :lol: I hear the border patrol has rooms full of spinning rods but only one bloody winston.
Hi WWFF,
Since you are not a resident of Ontario, I would not be surprised if you will require a licence, and a non-residence licence at that. However, I've never fished in Ontario, and it's been almost 10 years since I've lived in Nova Scotia, so a lot may have changed. Such as, I think you'll need your passport. Now that is something that blows me away. I remember crossing the Canada/US border on a bus when I was 18 and all the border guards did was ask "Everyone Canadian or American?", we all said "yes", and that was it. Times sure have changed.
Hmmm, my little side trip down memory lane isn't really answering your question all that much is it?
Anyway, I'll leave it to those from Ontario to fill you in. Make sure you check to see if you need a licence.

heres a link to the online version of the ontario fishing reg. booklet http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/MNR/pubs/pubmenu.html#fish
The regulations change depending on what zone of ontario you're in also.
I could have sworn that old rod was an Orvis! At least that's what I recalled before I blacked out from the pain. :shock:
Man I miss that old Mitchell reel! :wink:
One spining rod "donated" to Nova Scotia!
As far as the passport, you would only need it if you fly, which you're right, Jeff, is a new regulation. Crossing the border by car, foot or on dogsled, you just need your ID (Birth Certificate, etc)
I would be sure and check the regulations to cross the border. Now to go into BC or Alberta you are required to have a passport.
