Additional information for this trip. I assume that people will want to fish as well.

For Fishing Licenses in Ontario, the best deal going is the Eight Day Conservation License, which allows you to economically fish and enjoy your catch on a day-to-day basis, however, it does not permit you to bring a large amount of fish back across the border.

The North Channel is in Zone 14 this year, and permits holders of a conservation license to possess (either physically or by consumption) 2 walleye, 1 bass, 2 pike (no muskies), 25 perch or sunfish, 10 crappie, 2 brown trout and 1 lake or ranbow trout, or 2 salmon and 6 whitefish.

Lots of options there for dinner, and well prepared, one Walleye, trout or salmon is a whole meal for a person.

Note: Brook trout and splake are closed to fishing all year.

The bass fishery up there is said to be really, really good. A conservation license costs about 22 bucks (CAD) plus the VAT tax, and generally is well worth the cost.
