Rock 'n Roll Muskie Tour
	EXTREMELY IMPORTANT INFO from DUPER For those planning to go on the 2009 Lake of the Woods Rock ‘n’ Roll Musky Tour, please take care of the following now (if you haven’t already done so): 1. Get a passport or renew your expired passport — U.S. Customs requires it now to cross back into the U.S. From Canada, and Canada Customs will ask for it when going into Canada.  Birth certificates and a driver’s license are no longer acceptable. 2. Get a Remote Area Border Crossing (RABC) Permit — you can download the application from www.angleoutpost.com.  The application must be mailed in.  Takes anywhere from a month to 3 months to receive your RABC permit. 3. Get an Ontario Outdoors Card.  This is a new requirement for fishing or hunting in Ontario in 2009 (as reported by the Star Tribune, Sun., Dec. 31, 2008).  The card costs $9 (Canadian) and is valid for three years.  You will need this card to purchase an Ontario fishing license.  The intent of the card is to pave the way for the purchase of fishing licenses online (similar to what Minnesota and Wisconsin offer).  However, you will not be able to purchase a license online until the 2010 season. 4. Get your Ontario fishing license.  CALL 1-800-667-1940 (the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources) to purchase both your license and your Outdoors Card.  Takes anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months to receive license. FINALLY, if you haven’t done so already, bring $175 to the January 2009 meeting  to reserve your spot.  We send our club’s deposit to Angle Outpost this month.  Knowing exactly who is going, and how many are going on the trip, is essential to making the final bookings on our cabins. Shorty — take care of all of this stuff now. Download the 2009 LOTW Booklet in PDF  (about 15mb, so be patient!)
