2 stupid questions that i already know the answers too
1 .. if you own the land you are fishing on do you still need a license?
2 .. I saw where Warpt had posted that with a DUI you would never get to drive through Canada. Does it matter if it was 12 years ago? If the drive is a most do, how then would i go about it? Seen other sources say if you pay them 500 dollars they let yah?

Its strange that Canadians can get DUIs & still be allowed to drive in their country. I wonder if that rule will go away with the advent of the NAU? For now I'd say take the ferry.

I think you still need a license since a lake or river would be considered a public waterway. If it's a private stocked pond, then no license needed.
As for the DUI, you can find out about rehabilitation here:
Rehabilitation For Persons Who Are Inadmissible to Canada Because of Past Criminal Activity
On this link, there's a table that indicated you're rehabilitated after 10 years after completing your sentence. If it's 5 years past, then you can apply for rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation For Persons Who Are Inadmissible to Canada Because of Past Criminal Activity
Unless you have the paperwork, it sounds like the border agent has the final say on whether you can cross. |

It's a money making scam for Canada!! gives them the right to flex their muscles depending on the "guard" on duty!! |
