I'm not sure you can get an ap in Ely. I had to go down to Virginia. Might have changed since the new passport changes. Got my passport photos done at Norex.

Blake, try the county driver's license office in the county office building. Not the license/registration office, but the one where you take your license exams. They might have them, and if not will know if there's a place to get them in Ely.

I also have to think there's a government site somewhere where you could download a printable pdf version and print it out. I'd try to google it and see if that's out in cyberland somewhere.

And Ken's on the money. Kyle at Norex is the way to go for the photo. They have to be a certain size and resolution and style.

you can download the applications online. its a piece of cake. just google search passport applications and you can find it easily. remember it can take up to 3 months to get your passport unless you pay the extra fee and get it expedited.

they have directions for taking your picture and all that stuff on there.

good luck.

Since we are on the topic of passports...I have a question. Could someone clarify what the rules for driving into Canada are and what is needed? I have heard you only need a drivers license and birth certificate any fmers that can confirm this?

Yea...all you will need is your drivers license and birth certificate for this year. Next year should be the year it is fully enacted where you need a passport, but who knows they keep putting it off. I just want to get mine now to avoid the hassle and not be getting it with thousands of others next year.

Thanks for the info everyone, ill check out the online thing...would I just mail it somewhere with birth certificate and picture then after i filled it out? It will probably tell me on the site i guess.. later,

Blake

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
