I asked that same question at the baitfish meeting a few weeks later. F&G said they can check bait slips and licenses only. They mentioned VT Bait slips are still required because you are accessing the ice from VT soil....all the river regs just make my head spin
Try and fish the Conn. river setback above Lancaster(accessible from the Vt. side) with NH bait(no slip) and see what the Vt game warden says !
If the setback is only accessible from the vermont side then you can’t bring nh bait across state lines to use in Vermont.....that’s why the warden would have a problem with that. I love fishing the river but these bait laws really complicate things
NH also requires you to have completed the boater safety course if out in a boat. Everyone, no grandfathering.
