OK so I live in the wonderful State of Maine. The land where they can't spell reciprocity. Last year it was the Federal license. This year it's included as part of a freshwater license for both residents and non-residents. BUT, non-residents can't fish for stripers without a special adder to their license, think it's like $2 more.

The point of this post is this: since we don't share well with others, we demand y'all to get one of ours, and this means I have to get one of yours. Since your States share with each other, does that mean if I get a license in MA I can fish in RI, CT, MA, and NH now?

72 hrs of fishing SoCo, not a felony in all 50 states.

I am in Maine and I bought a Massachussetts license. As it stands right now they are still debating how to handle the license. Right now the most support is to have it become a free registry (LD210). But there is a chance nothing will be done and it will become more of a mess than it is.

Our state is no different they are looking for a chance to fill in budget gaps.

Probably not worth coming to Maine any more, no fish up here.

I was told from F&G that non-resident licenses are only good for the state they are issued in. Only resident licenses have reciprocity.
