Re: [Killietalk] Legaly bringing fish from Canada to USA

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at centurytel_net>]

What John says is true. You need to declare them and to have the 
inspected by US F&WL Service. It is the prerogative of that inspector to 
wve the inspection if they wish to do so. The best thing you can do is 
to call the inspectors working the proposed port of entry and discuss 
the matter with them. Don't depend on the advice of other hobbyists, 
talk to the people charged with this responsibility.

The one bit of advice that you should listen to is what John also said - 
DO NOT be tempted to sneak them in. If the person were caught they could 
be prosecuted.
