[quote author=Mad_Mat link=1339613111/8#8 date=1339677900]so Pondo, you do get the deal on the RABC right ?  no customs stations at Prairie Portage anymore like there was when the fee was $5 a night, so you have to have the Remote Area Border Crossing permit or you can't cross the border (it is more or less a pre-approved clearance through customs)  and you still need the passports for legal re-entry into US as you are supposed to stop in Ely or nearest US Customs on your return.

also changed from the past, fishing lures you use must be barbless (mash down the barbs is ok) and no live bait

the Ontario Outdoors card is required for residents and non-residents alike - you can buy the card and your fishing licenses online ahead of time

YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR LICENSE AND OUTDOORS CARD AHEAD OF TIME - THEY CAN NOT ISSUE THEM AT PRAIRIE PORTAGE ANYMORE - due to the electonic system that is being used for licensing now (same for Atikokan Office - you now have to do it online, or go to an outfitter that has the right machine)

Thanks again for the replies.

My kids are over 18, so unfortunately the savings do not apply.

I just talked to an outfitter yesterday and she said that they still did the licensing at the ranger station, but she recommended getting it ahead of time because of the long time it takes due to the electronic system being so slow there.
I will be getting them ahead of time from that link you posted, thanks for that.
