Smerch, great advice re picking your own worms to save some money, but for the record Trudy only gets 5% of the 13% HST and the POO-Dougie Ford- takes the remaining 8%

Uninterrupted travel outside Canadian waters

If you leave and re-enter Canadian waters without interruption, you  do not have to:

• no report to the CBSA
• follow mandatory quarantine requirements
• use ArriveCAN

This includes leisure and touring, including pleasure fishing, sightseeing and other discretionary purposes (known as loop movements)
 

Whether this applies to current covid protocol (PCR or NATT tests) is open to interpretation. Without interruption, as I understand it, means one cannot moor, anchor or tie up to another water craft while in American waters.

What is the online site to purchase this pass?

Petersaban….all fish taken on Canadian side. Saw many boats crossing boundary however. Mostly boaters out for a ride except on the bar where anglers crossed border into their home waters. USCG not out on patrol.

Do not eat fish. Normally, it is catch and release unless fish is bleeding. Actually, I do not think I would eat any fish from the Niagara…hear too much about pollutants entering from American side. I have yet to see any kayakers fishing any of the drifts. Usually, drifting needs to be controlled, hence the use of bow mount electrics.

Well the lower River proved to be its worth as one of the finest fisheries in the province. All told we were able to catch and release over 25+ fish. Sadly I only contributed 1 lowly bass to the mix. My son had the hot hand staying simple, maximizing out using an old CC silver jigging spoon and an original #8 Rapala Shad Rap. I on the other hand threw every thing and every technique at them and got nada in comparison. We fished 3 flats and 3 drifts in depths 15 to 25 feet from Queenston to the mouth. My son managed over 20 walleye - all good eaters - with perch, smallies and sheepies thrown in. The walleye followed a pattern we have noticed on the River…they amass on simple structure…so once found sit on them and enjoy. In fact, my son closed in on double figures in less than 45 mins. Though my production was poor…still a great day being on the Niagara fishing with my son….I’ll be back.

Definitely the FG knot. Check out YouTube for easy to tie FG knot applications. There are several. All work well.
