How bad off are you if they ask is my concern.
I don't intend to bring it up....
HaHa
Anyone had them ask or pull you aside and go through your stuff and check you and find out ?
I've heard they send the whole party back.
Even if you have person with offense stay at motel until someone can come and get them they still won't allow others to go anymore ?
Just trying to find out the skinny...?

.I dont have any first hand experience but make sure the vehicles that you take are not registered to those " big bad criminals " that the canadians dont want in thier country!

If they ask you and you tell them yes,,well you aint gettin in. So your better off saying no!

I personally would take the money from those inflated prices and apply it to a state side trip. Im sure you could go first class here for the same amount , and nobody is going to say no to you over a DUI.

I will never go into Canada again ! The government there is anti gun, money grubbing, wanna be European socialists that reign under the protection of the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!! smile.gif

Yah I kinda agree with you but we fell into a honey of a deal.
The trip Is EXTREMELY CHEAP.
When I say cheap I mean cheap.
I can't rent a motel room for 6 days in Minnesota for what the whole trip everything included is costing me up there.
Don't worry I am not a anti minnesota fisherman.
I am part owner in a family owned cabin in Minnesota and love fishing our lakes...

redmnfisher this was covered this winter. I think it was in the open water forum. There was a permit you could buy. It wasnt something you would want to plan ahead for.

Surface tension.
When you say this is something you don't plan ahead for do you mean that you can do this at the border if you get checked ?

I goofed, I meant to say plan ahead. It's wishy washy at the border. This is what I read. If you can find the post it will cover everything. Good Luck,ST.

Whatever you do, if they ask you if you have a dui, dont lie, that may land you in jail if they do a check and find out you were hiding something. I went across this past march with my 2 brothers, all of us have had dui's, from 20 yrs back to 9 yrs. breezed right threw,however we made arrangements on the us side too in case we had some trouble. depending on the age and severity of the offence there is a fee you could pay at the border to an immagrations officer 200 CN, that may or may not get you threw. its up to them to decide your fate,

I've been in and out of Canada at least 25 times in the past ten years and never been asked if I had a DWI. I have heard that if you are not the one driving it's not as big a deal if they do ask. I've also heard that for a price you can get a permit even if you have had a DWI in the past. You can probably find out by calling ahead.

Good Luck

This is something to definately check out in advance. I am not sure of the details but you can buy a permit? or something that will let you in without any trouble. If they run your drivers license and find a troubled past (according to them) they can charge you somewhere around $125-$150 to let you in OR they can deny you entry. I had some acquaintances run into major hassles last winter. I would contact the Canadian border crossing people. Good luck.

I wouldn't lie. They can run a check on you as easy as a state patrol officer. Very very good chance they won't let you in if you have a DUI on your record. You can apply for a pardon. That's what the $200 can is for. It's a processing fee. $ over the table instead of under. The good news is when I was researching getting a remote border pass I was told that sometime in June a new law will go into effect that allows them to go back only 10 years and older Dwi's won't ban you from giving them your hard earned US $. I have to agree with some of the other posts. The fishing can be fantastic but they hide behind their so called conservation. They say they are protecting their resources. But if you look at their regs. Every one of them allows you a chance to fish and hunt there if you spend significant US $. If you can get a cheap trip take it. But I'll think long and hard before going back. I have enough experence to know about the various fishing peaks on this side of the line.

So are you guys talking about the driver's record or anyone with you? If the driver has a clean record and using his/her vehicle would they ever ask for anyone elses license. What if you didn't have a driver's license, can they deny you entry. What are the odds they will ask if you have a dui. What about if you had an accident? Any more info would be appriciated going there next week Monday. Is any time of the day better to go accross?

      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.
