Excellent post and pictures, well written too. You"ve had a good education.

Heres one for the red, white, and blue. REMEMBER LAKE PLACID!!!!!

Thats some excellent work Leech. Now don't leave your tackel box on the edge of the boat when you drive off!!

I've owned a 162 promag since 99. Well built with nice features. All boats in this class are "good". I have no complaints

Now you know some big ole pickerel just gonna steal it from ya!

heres mine. Canadian made too! Did you know all 340 Darts were made in Canada?

I have crossed many times as a driver and a passenger.Never had them do more than a quick couple of questions.If you have a ton of fishing gear and your passports they will most likely wish you good luck fishing.Just dont take his vehicle or have him be the driver. Joe So tempting but theres alot at stake here. The 6 others have also placed deposits and will have made time for this trip. I called them yesterday and they express if my son and I don't go they won't either as I'm the one familar with the lake. I doubt they could pull off a shore lunch i work at a lodge and all of our guests are american. we have had many guests stopped at the border and not allowed into canada because of a DUI. if you dont do the required paperwork you will not be allowed entry into canada. we had 3 guys drive up from texas, 1 had a DUI and was denied at internatinal falls, MN. he had to book a flight all the way back down to texas from minnesota. as far as the passport, you can definitely still get one with a DUI. other countries, like mexico, will allow you into the country with a DUI. hope this helps. This is my fear, and it could happen. This lodge has had many guest denied entry

I'd give anything if you were our border guard!

Really?

Well it seems as if I have to break the news to him and the rest of the group. Irish thanks for your post it was very informative just not what I wanted to hear. I believe my son has and continues to pay for the foolishness of an 18 yr old but I must say it was difficult to help him pick up the pieces. His maturity from 18 to 22 sems like 10 yrs not 4. Thanks for the replys everyone.

So have we. Little more than a friendly smile, a few simple questions, and on we go.

We are planning on making application soon as it takes 6 wks or so and we had plenty of time

considered a FELONY in Canada not the US

Not sure what I can do. 8 of us have booked a weeks fishing at a lodge on Perrault. My son has a three year old "alcohol related offense. I was heartbroken when I read where he can expect to be denied entry. Can you just imagine that scene? I won't defend his dui. It was stupid, he knows it, no one hurt, he's been paying brutal insurance premiums ever since, life goes on. I see where there's somepaperwork for $240.00 that "might" allow him entry for a short stay but Its only been 3 yrs and I think the paperwork requires 5 yrs. Has anyone dealt with a situation like this before or is there a crossing guard on board who woulk chime in?

I've got a Shorelander Trailer and I will say I get lined up well before I hit the trailer and take her straight in. If I'm off a bit I have to back out a ways and start the process over.

just a thought. Order it give em my address and i'll mail it from the states to you. I wouldn't mind

Have booked a week at Rocky Shore on Perrault. Stickin with what we know. Acess to 4 or 5 other lakes, a driveout, and a flyout. Nothing to do all week but fish, and all week to do it.

nothing would make me and my son happier. We will be thru Dryden in june on our way to Perrault. Beer on me?

I have heard of this Chez Limey's. Invitation only I think.

Planes, trains and automobiles. Great feel good movie

Nice catch. Don't think I'll ever get my wife to ice fish

Limey I've been to Dryden many times on my way to Perrault. Just curious what lake are you on (wabigoon?) And what is it like to winter there? By comparison here in Kansas we may get at best 11-15 days of safe ice, and we generally chase crappies. I tell myself every year I want to find a place to icefish but never manage it.

Really enjoy your post. I can only imagine walking out the backyard fishing for 30 min, and returning with fresh walleye. Quicker than a run to the store! I have a special place for Dryden as I've been thru many times on the way to 105. Keep living the good life

gee wiz I just sat down for quick read and I feel as if I read a book. A very good one at that. What I learned from this posting is Dood I would gladly pay your expenses to fish with you. I wanna catch big speckeled trout The best writers find their way to this board thanks

keep living the dream!
