Canadian outfitters near Fort Frances, Ont., are concerned over rules which allow Americans to fish in Canadian waters, without clearing customs. Instead, those same clients are staying in Minnesota, spending all of their money at US-based lodges, she said, but still fishing in Canadian waters.

"When people are leaving, and they've got guides that are taking them up into Canadian waters, making money on our resources."
