fishing the Detroit River

[rmarentette]

For those who are planning a trip from other parts of Ontario to fish the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair, be warned that changes at the border have created some problems. Please check out the article about those changes before you head this way. I hope this information will save you some frustration.

Thanks for posting that article. I have not fished the Detroit river in a few years. It is a great place to fish. I hope they lighten up a bit.

 

When I fish the Niagara River I always just go wherever I want to. I know that on the New York State side it is law to always have your life jacket on when your boat is under power so I abide and always have my NYS licence on me. This is making me think that I had better call someone and check to see if any laws have changed. I haven't been in NYS waters in a few years but I always renew my NYS licence just in case the situation arises.

I think that boaters in the Niagara region have been dealing with these changes also. At least they seem to be applying the same set of rules on our boundary waters.
