it's common sense first, but peruse any of the states laws that have passed.
You can't pick and choose and a Ct NR license is not going to get you NY reciprocity when you have a RI drivers License for an ID.

go to msba.net follow to noaa and reg.their it took my zip code mine start with 0****

I just did the same, even though I hold a pelagic tuna permit...pretty easy.

I've got both also! Did you get a confirmatory e-mail from the saltwater registry? I didn't but I printed out the registration card as proof.

I printed mine out a s well, I did it from work at lunch time but used my home e-mail, so I dont know if it was confirmed...

Point me to the applicable language that says only a resident holding an out-of-state licese will be granted reciprocity.

From the CT DEP website:

What is a reciprocal license privilege? (Is there reciprocity with any other states?)

Connecticut law allows non-resident anglers who hold a marine waters fishing license in New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire or Maine to fish in the marine district and land marine fish in this state without a Connecticut license provided the state issuing the marine license affords the same privilege to resident Connecticut marine license holders.

From the language of the NH license bill--it's limited reciprocity but nothing in the legislation says you have to have a Mass or Maine resident license.


(c) A nonresident holding a valid recreational saltwater license or a for-hire charter or party boat saltwater license from Maine or Massachusetts, shall be allowed to take, possess, or transport finfish from New Hampshire coastal and estuarine waters, provided that the state in which such person purchased a recreational saltwater license or in which the for-hire vessel is registered allows an angler with a New Hampshire recreational saltwater license or a saltwater for-hire vessel with a for-hire license from New Hampshire to recreationally take, possess, or transport finfish in that state’s coastal and estuarine waters.
