Unless they changed it,lake trout daily in Quetico is 1 per day with conservation license or Sportsmen,just the sportsmen license you can have a total of 2 in possession if you stay a couple of days and don't eat your catch.

It sounds like 2014 northern pike greater than 29.5 inches can not be kept at anytime. Limits the same. Use to also be a no keep slot from 27.6 to 35.4 inches.

Bass limit was changed early part of season to 4 for sportsmen license 2 for conservation license(use to be half that for respective license)-length is still less than 13.8 inches from Jan. 1 to June 30th.

Also a violation in Ontario or Minnesota on a fish or wildlife violation is considered a violation in both than. What they are saying if you violate a Ontario fishing law like over the limit in Ontario, Minnesota enforcement will honor the Ontario law and help prosecute if necessary.

True, so in practice, you end up keeping one fish per day. I'm not sure how many folks would eat a fish in summer with no refrigeration that was caught the previous day.

I was always glad that when we bought ours, the outfitter provided a tiny zip bag for holding the license visible on one side and a small card with the slots/rules for handy reference viewable on the other.

"Lead Sinkers and Jigs – It is illegal to use or possess lead fishing sinkers or jigs in Canada’s National Parks and National Wildlife Areas. Further information is available at http://www.cws-scf. ec.gc.ca/flf-psp/index_e.cfm"

I just read/realized that Quetico is a PROVINCIAL park, and thus, there is not a lead ban.

Do I understand that right?
