Federally recognized Native Americans are not required to obtain a state-issued fishing license to fish in waters on their own federally designated reservation, but are required to obtain the appropriate Connecticut fishing license when fishing in Connecticut off their reservation. Note that in Connecticut, members of three tribes (Paucatuck Eastern Pequot, Schaghticoke and Golden Hill Paugussett) not federally recognized may also fish on their respective reservations without first obtaining a state fishing license.
