Make it pretty. Dad wants to "go home" one last time before he dies so
we are taking a driving trip up the coast to your neighborhood this
summer. Thinking about bringing a small trailer boat with us for some
fresh water fishing, any idea where I can get regulations and info on
what kind of licence I may need, will my US, Connecticut licene do, or
can I drive it at all up there? Anyway, I have never been up there,
can't wait.


What part of Nova Scotis is your dad from?
I don't see a date on this...but should be close re fishing
license..http://sportfishing.mynovascotia.net...asp#freshwater


Just talked to dad and he says the family is from Digby area, going
back to the early 1600's. Mom and dad used to spend many summers up
there doing geneology, scouring the graveyards and afternoons at a
little place "on the main drag" right on the water eating scallops
that would "melt in your mouth". I am actually pretty excited about
the trip. Dad is 90 and we get on pretty well. He was very excited
when I told him I was talking to someone up there. I don't know much
about the place, never been there but I am sure we will have a great
time. Do you need a licence to pilot a small trailer sailor up there?


If it is like British Columbia, tourists are exempt from the boating
certificate for some period. Fishing licence will be available from lots of
tackle shops. Do a google on fishing licence fees for N.S.
