This is cut and pasted from a canadian border service agency site.


The following are some examples of the limits that apply to personal importations of food products from the United States:

Headed to Lac Seul on Fri. Wondering if we have to use barbless hooks? If so does it incluce every thing in the boat or just wahy your fishing with?

Thanks

Just a headzup. We were stopped coming back into the States because of a 1945 Corps of Engineers compass in my tackle bag. It has a FEW SPOTS of RADUIM PAINT on it! They made us pull over, remove the compass, rechecked the vehicle/trailer, then rechecked the compass to be sure the isotope matched the first reading! Unbelievable. I hope the border security folks are this good everywhere.

Interestingly, they asked if anyone had "a recent medical treatment or an old compass" when we first pulled up. So I'm guessing they can detect cancer radiation treatments as well.

Otherwise, crossing was relatively painless. If you drove a long way, find a restroom before you get in line.

No problem with barbed hooks on Lac Seul. Tho' you may want to consider it--to get your line back in the water quicker when the bite is on!
