Reply to comment by Figwit_ in Question- Why does Mass charge out of staters 3x the price to camp at Mass state parks? I understand slightly higher rates, but 3x? Come on. by Figwit_

Well. I’m on your side. It’s not going to change but I’m in agreement with you. Fishing licenses are the same as I recall (haven’t bought one in years but CT wanted some huge amount of extra money for me as a MA resident and I live like 1 mile from the border)

I believe you can use your license in certain lakes, i was just looking to renew my license this morning actually.

As of Feb. 17, 2011, Massachusetts has reciprocity agreements with:
New Hampshire: MA to NH and NH to MA
Rhode Island: MA to RI and RI to MA
Connecticut: MA to CT and CT to MA

A NH 3 day out of state fishing license is roughly the same as a full year resident license.
