I've had a few interesting experiences crossing in and out of BC. For years I took a month off in August/September to fish for steelhead on Vancouver Island, the Dean river, and Skeena country. Once coming back, US customs started a bit suspicious because I was alone, claiming to have been fishing for a month. They asked where were my fish. I had none, steelhead fishing is all catch and release. I guess they had not heard of that so they proceeded to take my truck and gear apart looking for the 'real' reason I was crossing the border. Four hours later they let me go. Another year entering BC at 5:00 in the morning (I want to get through Seattle without traffic) I hand the lady my passport, she types on her computer and says, "Karl, do you still live in Glide Oregon". "Yes", I reply. She says, "and your taking the ferry to Vancouver island, fishing for a week, chartering to the Dean River, then taking a ferry to Rupert for another two weeks. I'M ENVIOUS! GOOD LUCK!!". No further questions asked. _________________ "Believe me my young friend, there is nothing-absolutely nothing-half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats."

WOW - that makes 5 spam hits on 1 thread! If my bait attracted as many fish as this thread attracts spam I would be selling the fish instead of buying it!! _________________ Talk to me and I will listen-- but if its not about boats or fishing all I will hear is bla,bla,bla,yada,yada,zzzzzzzz |
