I saw it on this board somewhere but I can't remember where. Can someone please give me the web address for the Remote Border Crossing Permit for Rainy Lake.

Thanks.

HI JOE,

YOU MUST EITHER DO IT ON LINE, OR IN PERSON, YOU CAN'T TRAVEL BY BOAT PRIOR TO HAVING THE PERMIT. THE PURPOSE OF THE RBCP(REMOTE BORDER CROSSING PERMIT) IS TO ALLOW YOU TO GO INTO CANADA, BY BOAT, WITHOUT GOING THRU CUSTOMS 1ST!!! THE COST IS 30 CANADIAN, FOR YOU, YOUR WIFE & KIDS(I BELIEVE, THEY MUST BE 18 & UNDER) NOW IF 4 GUYS ARE IN THE BOAT, EACH INDIVIDUAL MUST HAVE THE PERMIT., AND NOW A NEW LAW...WHEN YOU ENTER BACK INTO THE U.S., YOU MUST GO TO A U.S. CUSTOMS BOOTH & CHECK BACK INTO THE U.S.!!!

PRETTY SOON LAWYER JOE, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HIRE YOU, TO RIDE IN THE BOAT WITH THEM, SO CAN UNDERSTAND THE LAWS.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS NOW YOU HAVE TO GET ANOTHER PERMIT FROM THE U.S. BORDER PATROL, I BELIEVE THE FINE IS HUGE IF YOU GET CAUGHT WITHOUT IT, AND THEY I SUPPOSE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONFISCATE YOUR BOAT. I DO NOT THINK ITS IN EFFECT UNTILL TILL 2006, SO YOU NEED THE PERMIT NOW, BUT THEIR IS A GRACE PERIOD.

I'M SURE THIS WILL BECOME A BIG TOPIC!!!

SINCERELY,

FISHMIESTER

no doubt. as fun as it would be to face the law, and potentially lose equipment and time on the water - i too will stop by the i-falls customs office and give them 16 bones.

Anyone have more information on the new US permit? I've got my RABC and will be coming up in June but I can't find any info on the new US permit.

Thanks "FM" for the detailed info and helping me avoid an illegal entry into Canada by boat. laugh.gif

I will follow the masses and prepare my legal tender of 1600 Old, Dingy, and Green United States Pennies (in a bag and not in rolls) to surrender at the U.S. Customs Office in I-Falls for my permit to legally return to my country of origin. mad.gif

One more thing, "FM", for the RBCP to we simply pay the bridge fee and cross the bridge....wait our turn inside the Canadian Customs Office to pay the 30.00 for the RBCP....then pay another bridge fee and cross back to the U.S. where we then enter the U.S. Customs office with our Pennies? confused.gif

Thanks,

Joe

I can appreciate the law abiding nature of those who will pay for the permit to re-enter their own country. But I'm serious as a heart attack when I say I won't pay to get back into the country where I was born and served proudly in it's United States Marine Corps. NEVER.

I'll sit in jail, but they'll not get a penny from me.

HI JOE,

JUST WALK OVER, JUST PARK YOUR VEHICLE BY BORDER BOBS, THEN STOP BY THE U.S. CUSTOMS & TELL THEM YOUR WALKING ACROSS TO CANADIAN CUSTOMS TO GET A RBCP., NO CHARGE FOR WALKING OVER. YOU WILL BE ABOUT 2 BLOCKS FROM YOUR VEHICLE, WHEN YOU GET TO CANADIAN CUSTOMS(SHORT WALK) BRING SOME CANADIAN MONEY, YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE., AND HOPEFULLY NO-ONE IN YOUR PARTY HAS A D.U.I.(AS THEY CAN'T GET A PERMIT, OR GET INTO CANADA) HOPE THIS HELPS.

SINCERELY,

FISHMISETER

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!
    • PSU
      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
