861.0. "Vermont Connecticut river HELP" by CIMNET::DSULLIVAN () Thu Aug 25 1988 19:08

    
    
    Seeing I haven't fished N.H. this year (I know, no excuse) I am
    going to be in Littleton N.H. which is on the St. Johnsbury VT.
    line. I was wondering if there are some places to put a boat in
    around there. I think the connecticut river is up there but not
    sure how navagatible it is. 
    
    Anyone know?

861.1In addition to 861.0CIMNET::DSULLIVANThu Aug 25 1988 19:467
    
    
    What I should have said in 1 was I was looking for a VERMONT location
    because of the reciprical registry agreements between mass/vermont plus
    I already have VT. Fishing license for the year.
    
    [too cheap to buy a N.H. tag]
861.2Whats the Story with the RIVER?SCOMAN::BACZKOThu Aug 25 1988 20:297
    What is the story with the Conn. River??
    
    If you come up it from Mass do you need a Vermont, or a N.H. license?
    Is a Mass registered boat legal?  Can some one please supply me
    with the information.

861.3What's in a riverCIMNET::DSULLIVANFri Aug 26 1988 13:0322
    
    
    LES,
    
    Yes, you need a license for every state you fish. If you cross a
    border via water make sure you have that states fishing license.
    
    Boats are a little different...
    
    A Mass. boat registration is honered in all but 2 states in the
    union. 1 being New Hampshire and the other being like Delaware or
    something. Other than that you can take your boat just about anywhere
    with a mass reg.
    
    That's why I am asking how much/far is the connecticut river out
    of littleton N.H. towards Vermont navigatable in Vermont. I have
    a VT fishing licence and a mass reg. is recipricol there.

861.4Odd States OutCIMAMT::DOWNINGFri Aug 26 1988 14:221
    The other state, I believe, is Alaska. 
861.5BAGELS::DILSWORTHKeith Dilsworth DTN 226-5566Fri Aug 26 1988 14:497
I beleive it states in the NH regs that "Vermont NonResident liscences are
only good to the normal low water mark on the Vermont side".  Your boat
registration should be valid.  NH liscences are valid to the first bridge
up any tributary on the Vermont side.  I believe thast applies to resident
and non resident.

861.6The final StoryCIMNET::DSULLIVANWed Aug 31 1988 20:3514
    I have the answer to my own question...
    
    
    The scoop is the Ct. river is the N.H. VT. border and both vt/nh
    regs are accepted. Mass is not... NH says I would have to have a
    boat tag.
    There is a special license/tag you can get if you just want
    to use your boat on moore lake.   
    
    Moore Lake has NO SPEED LIMITS !!!

    Hi,
    
    Right in Littleton NH there is the Moore Resevoir.  I have never fished
    there myself but have heard that there are some nice rainbows and
    lakers to be taken out of there.  Also about 15 iles north of St
    Johnsbury there is Lake Willoughby in the town of Westmore.  I have
    taken a few good sized rainbows out of there this fall.  Fishing
    styles vary in that lake.  I have had best luck trolling streamers at
    fast speeds.  Most of the fish this time of year are near the surface.
    Look on a map of the area you will find many pond, lakes and streams
    that have excellent fishing.  Most of the lakes in the area have public
    boat launches.
    
    Good luck,
    SRO
