Fishing Alaska transpot back to lower 48
Can anyone tell me what and if there are restrictions on the amount of fish that can be brought back through Canada and into the lower 48. We are doing a 6 week trip and plan on fishing 17 of the day...

Possession limit include all fish that are not processed. They are normally around a two day limit.
Once the fish are processed (cleaned and frozen, canned, or cooked) they no longer counts towards your possession limit.
We have brought back fish in freezers with no problems. Once, while clearing customs at a small crossing east of Sweetgrass, I was talking with the senior agent about similiar military connections while the junior agent was asking questions. He asked about eggs and I replied that we had some fish eggs. He needed to see them. Took hin to the freezer in the TT and he kept looking, then asked where they were. I showed him a bag of fish eggs, and we all laughed about it.
I have thought about dry ice in the event that we ended up with a few fish that would not fit in the freezers, but I don't know about its availibilty in the Yukon and Northern BC.
