It will NOT cost Rhody anglers $115 to fish in every state next year.
Buy a NY license online, and you're good for CT and you also will NOT have to register with the Feds. If they board you in RI, you show them a NY non-resident license and you're in compliance with the law even if you're not registered with the Feds.
Next year, if Gov. Chooch is still grandstanding, buy a Mass non-resident license. I understand that the fee is $10 across the board, resident and non-resident alike.

... So what you are saying for those of us up here in Mass, but we also like to fish RI/CT/NY ... that we get a CT nonresident license and then we are covered for those three states?
Reason I ask is that my parents live in Stonington, and for years I have fished the Watch Hill Reefs and Fisher's Island regions - in essence fishing three states by boat in a very short time frame ... although CT is way inside of the two in that area ... but it would be expensive to have to pay for more than one out of state license to fish there ... $60 for CT non-resident is expensive enough ...
