| With the closure now being extended to at least June 21, how does one cling onto their planned Canadian trip for July, or August? We are going to cancel our July LOTW trip simply because I can’t wait for things to change and risk having no place to go to. Anybody else have similar ideas? |

Location: Kansas City MO | We are sticking to our late June LOTW trip. We stay on Oak and will likely be fishing slightly less productive waters on the MN side. While not ideal, it's certainly better than staying home and bass fishing in 95 degree heat! |

| Seems to me we’re going to get answers pretty soon. We have, for the most part, reopened the country. Now, we will all see how that’s working out. Canada will see it too. If it is all good to go, Canada won’t turn away our dollars. If there is a meaningful spread of death, Canada will keep the lock on the gate. And, the Minnesota lakes will be really, really crowded. |

You planning on boating the 22ish open water miles from MN? |

Location: SE, WI. | Dick; Buddy was going to Ash Rapids area...Ontario. Yes, there is a Quarantine if your going to a Canada location. If you don’t stop, and drive back into the states, supposedly not a Quarantine. JD |

People boat from Bayfield to outer island all the time. Similar distance. |

Whew, some hefty fines there. But hey, during Prohibition enterprising Americans found ways to get Whiskey from Canada. Windsor, Sault Ste Marie, places like that have legends of the whiskey runners. Maybe a cottage industry will develop where American fishermen are smuggled into Canada, sort of the opposite of what happened with Whiskey during Prohibitions. I know that if it happens and someone writes a book about it, the first line will be "It was a dark and storm night as the fishermen hunkered down in the bottom of the Pro V, ready to make the run across the water to the promised land of the big musky, with a grizzled Canadian guide on the big tiller." |

| I heard a rumour from a US friend that knows lots of camp owners on both sides of the border - he was hearing July 7th....which is now seemingly unlikely if Reuters is reporting end of July minimum. Painful for anyone looking to cross either side of the border. |

| Keeping in mind even when it does open, I'm pretty sure a 14 day qaurenteen plan will still be in place. |

Location: Eastern Ontario | Harvard Dr. predicting 100,000 more American deaths by Sept. Almost 1000 people died yesterday, number of cases on the rise in 19 states hospitalizations up in 12. Americans appear to be throwing away the gains that were made by earlier sacrifices by relaxing restrictions prematurely. Keep it closed.

Same folks predicting outlandish covid numbers and promoting keeping things shutdown are the same ones encouraging protesting and riots. I would be cautious with what is being reported and what is real. |

Completely agree. With how much the supposed "experts" have flip-flopped, it's hard to keep track of what the guidelines should or are supposed to be...you can throw a Dr. from Harvard into that bucket for sure. Remember the # of deaths the "experts" were originally predicting? Not to mention, the fact that the # of COVID-19 deaths are skewed due to the death count including people killed by a gunshot or in an auto accident, but counted because they tested positive for COVID-19.
And the media, well, they suck and all they want to do is fear monger. |

| I corresponded with a couple camps yesterday. A number of these camps have US owners who have not been able to cross the border and remain closed. Another camp are Canadian residents but didn't open as their customers couldn't cross border. I did not correspond with any LOTW camps but the other ones I spoke with maintain that 2021 will be booked solid. You may wish to shop now if you are in the market for 2021. |
