I've been fishing on BWCA, Quetico, and VNP border lakes for > 20 years. Always buy both licenses so we can fish both sides. This year we were told we could not fish the Canada side, or be caught in Canada waters. When I asked for a refund of my license fee since I couldn't use it. I was told there were no refunds after license had expired. I explained it was an 8 day license and I didn't have any way to contact until the license had expired. They basically said too bad, no refund. I really feel bad for the outfitters and other folks who depend on tourism. I'm sure many will not survive.
