...and...is there ANY intent for CT DEEP to publish the regs BY January 1st of each calendar year? It's quite frankly pretty pathetic regs aren't published by Jan 1st.....and pushing not being published in the 1st quarter of the year is unacceptable. Does DEEP even recognize this as a problem?....and a sign of mismanagement?....they should.

My vote is that fishing licenses should be good for the period of published regs. I should not have to buy a 2016 fishing license on January 1st 2016 when the fisheries "management" can't provide me the regs until March+ of 2016. 2015 paid for licenses should be valid at least until the 2016 regs are published. I am all for paying for a Jan 1st license with a Jan 1st reg book....as things should be.

Please feel free to funnel my comments up the DEEP management ladder, and I am more than willing to speak with or meet with them to discuss further.
