Going in on Duncan in a few weeks. On my Fisher map there is 2 sites on the Canadian side of Rose Lake. Are those legal to camp at? Is fishing legal?

Thanks
Mike

You can not camp on the Canadian side. I don't fish so someone else can answer that question.

As long as you don't go into a bay , inlet, or go to shore on the Canadian side you can fish the lake.

Because those ARE valid campsites for people with the proper permit.

you still need a Canadian fishing license, just not the RABC (as long as you don't touch Canadian soil for any reason)

Since there is not an actual visual border line that runs through the middle of lakes. It's highly unlikely you will be fined as long as you're not near shore or within an inlet or bay

your map shows you where the border is. you don't want to get caught fishing in canada without a license.

The Canadians have used handheld GPS units on Sag to prove people are fishing in Canada. With GPS there kinda is a line on the lakes.
