Couple of Statements from The Ct DEP web site
"Does the revenue from this license go back to my sport?
Yes. State and federal law requires that all revenue from hunting and fishing licenses be used exclusively to support fish and wildlife conservation programs."
"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"
So it appears all funding from liceneses (fines are another matter) go back to DEP to retain eligibility for Federal Funds
Licenses will be reciprocal with other states if other states grant CT the same privelege. Why such a high non resident fee I haven't a clue
