No fed card needed. MA won't recognize it even if it isn't expired. If you have a RI card, then you're all set for MA, RI and CT.

If you have a license from MA, RI or CT you don't need the federal registration to fish in federal waters. You are also covered by the RI and CT license to fish in NY as long as the water you are in is "adjacent" to RI or CT. A MA license is no good in NY., but you can sign up for the FREE ny registry and be covered whever you fish in NY.

It's pretty simple: you need a NY registry card for NY, and your RI non-resident license will let you fish in RI and CT. You'll have to buy another $10 non-resident license to fish MA. MA will honor RESIDENT licenses from RI, CT and NH, but not non-resident licenses.

Man it takes an attorney to deciefer the regs. Ok, I'll get an out of state MA license. I don't need one for NY as I don't fish saltwater in NY. I haven't made it to MA yet, maybe this weekend
Thanks
Brian

That's the way to do it, as the RI and MA non-resident licenses cost the same ($10). CT honors both resident and non-resident licenses from reciprocal states. You can get your MA license online and print it out--in fact, that's the only easy way to get it, as there are only 3 locations in Mass that sell them on-site. |

Thanks for the poop, Mike.
I hate this tax and spend mentality. If the "authorities" wanted real time fishing info, there are ways of doing that. When I was a kid on Long Island, NYS DEC would send me a small log book to input trout fishing info. End of the season I would mail the book back to them. I used to fish and catch searun trout in all the local estuaries
and streams. Those trout are still available. NYS State always listed fresh water streams turned to saltwater at the first dam. There is no season on searun trout so one could fish them all year round.
