Border crossing fishing

[jimski2]

It is illegal on both sides now to cross over the border line now for recreation fishing and boating. Contests are returning Canadian entries to the applicants.On the lower Niagara River be aware especially heading up to Devil's Hole , the Peace Bridge area and the West River around Grand Island shoreline. Your Ontario Fishing license will not get you off any charges unless you launch from Canada but the border is now closed at the Bridges.

According to the authorities up the border is currently closed both on land and on the water! On Lakes Erie & St. Clair, Canadians have been crossing over into the US to take advantage of the open bass season that is there. This past weekend, I had friends who were escorted back to the border by the US Border Patrol. The US Border Patrol officers were very nice about the whole thing but if it keeps happening, that might change!
