To be honest I wouldn’t expect them to run out and track you down.
Well they finally backed down in a letter once I was able to give them the US law that exempted the upper Wisconsin. Just seems that they should know where they have jusrisdiction BEFORE they start hasseling licensed guides. Other guides got the same letter I did but I don’t know if the Coast Guard ever notified them about the real law.
I ran exactly 1,000 guide trips before I quit. Never had one client ask me if I was licensed or insured! (I had both).
I have never seen a Coast Guard boat up here so am surprised to hear that they do patrol Rainy. Course like you said I spend 90% of my time in Canada so wouldn’t see em up there.
