Where to buy bulk leeches (International Falls or Ft Frances)?

[jackpotjohnny48]

Hi guys,

Can someone give me info on where to buy bulk leeches near International Falls or Fort Frances. Heading up to Perrault Falls area tomorrow and figure it's more cost effective to buy bait closer to the border.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

rainy lake sports and tackle,fort frances ON. I think they are the main supplier for most of fort francis. Two weeks ago when they were out everyone else was too. A week ago they had leeches again,however we were done with out trip.

You can not bring leeches into canada...
They were 45.00 a lb at the 4 seasons in Fr Francis. I don't think they are needed this time of year. Stick to minnows. Again..you have to buy them in Canada.

I agree w/ repairman. I fished the English River all last week and will be back up there next week.
I did equally well on crawlers and minnows, I will not be buying leeches nor minnows this next trip. Crawlers only.
My advice is to save the $ to buy more beer.

Good luck,

Ryan
