Effective June 1 Passports to enter the USA became a requirement.  There is a temporary "leeway" that enables you to still cross over with a photo ID & Birth Certificate instead.  If you wish to cross and are unsure if this is still in effect, please contact the nearest USA border to inquire. Baudette USA: 1-218-634-2661; Warroad USA: 1-218-386-2796; International Falls USA: 1-218-283-2541.  Some States & Provinces have issued a "card" that is available instead of the Passport. See you soon!

Today - July 1st, is Canada's 142nd Birthday!  In 1867 the "original" Canada was formed when 4 British colonies (now provinces) united to form our country - Canada.  Canada comproises of 10 provinces as well as 3 territories.

Canada celebrates another Birthday on July 1st.  Check out our other blog site at www.harrishillresort.net/blog for pics I added.  By the end of the day there may be more added, so keep checking back with us!

Have a great Day Canada!!!

Check out my newest fishing pics on Facebook's Latest Catch - under Cheryl Gauthier Harris Hill. Smallmouth Bass hitting well, as are the Walleye here on Lake of the Woods.  ANOTHER Smallmouth BASS Master Angler on Lake of the Woods Ontario.  Need to add pics to photo gallery next.

Fish are biting quite well in this "crappy" weather.  Think we will ever have spring- let alone summer?  They are still in the Bay in front of the lodge, but now Walleye are also on Snake Island reef now too.

There has been many Master Angler Smallmouth Bass caught here in the last two weeks.  I actually got to go fishing yesterday as the fish were biting hard right in the Bay in front of our lodge.  Gone for less than two hours and we caught (many) but kept 8 (our limit) Walleye, Caught & released the 2 Master Angler Smallmouth Bass - 17.5" & 18", plus many Northern Pike.  Check out the photo gallery _ I will add the pics there.

Lots of Master Angler Northern Pike caught today.  30" - 41" monsters!  Fishing close by to the resort here on Lake of the Woods.  No digital camera, so we have to wait for them to get home, develop the film, and send us pics!  We'll see where they are tomorrow - the weather is warming up again.

Walleye Opener was Sat May 16th on Lake of the Woods Ontario.  Although not a great day, fishermen went out anyway!  Today is sunny & calm - and the fishermen are going out on the lake to catch Walleye!  Or Northern or Muskie, Or Bass!  Anglers are hungry for fishing again!  Good luck & safe boating to you all.

Check out the photo Gallery " Birds" on this website & see pics of some of the rarer Birds coming through this spring: Western Tanager (vagrant to this area), Red-Headed Woodpecker (endangered species), Indigo Bunting, Yellow-Headed Blackbirds & Red-Winged Blackbirds.  It's exciting to see these special bird species, especially the rare or vagrant species to Rainy River Ontario.  Even better when you can get a good picture!!!

Menard's delivered our new countertop for the new oak cupboards today, along with the new range for Cabin 2 also.  New door and all new windows already in.

We just got a new harbour dredged here and re-dredged our existing harbour.  We will be making more boat slips in the new harbour too, so more places for fishermen to dock their boats when they come here to fish on Lake of the Woods.

Ice fishing has been great.  Fred & Scott's groups were out and caught lots of Walleye & Sauger this last weekend too.
