CT does not recognize the federal permit for fishing in CT's portion of LIS. Right now you need either a NY or CT license...if you are a CT resident, the CT license is required. When the MA marine license goes into effect in 2011 it would be valid in CT's portion of LIS PROVIDED that MA recognizes a CT marine license in their waters. If MA does not offer reciprocal license privileges to CT license holders then we would not reciprocate for their license holders.
