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.

wrong. Reciprocity is granted to you in a non resident state only if you are licensed in your resident state. It works like the credit for taxes paid to another state.
You don't get to choose your resident state.
