Lets change this question around.
Will a CT Resident need a non resident NY license to fish the South Side of Fishers Island and bring their catch home legally to a CT Port?
We were told that registration or licensing in CT would satisfy the Federal regulations for registration, even if it costs us more.
As reciprocity is no longer an issue, due to the elimination of NY licences, CAN I FISH NY WATERS, AND RETURN TO CT WITHOUT VIOLATING THE LAW?
All of this assumes of course that the good folks from CT have paid for a Salt Water license which satisfies all of the federal requirements, now all we're asking, is it any good and what does it cover?
Is that too much to ask from a state or state employee that seems to be more interested in your fee than explaining it to you?
