It's still BS. You can't be penalized for fishing in another state. You fishing in other states is none of their business. As long as you are not trying to declare yourself a resident in two states, they can't touch you. Have you ever heard of a warden ticketing someone in Washington, because they didn't have their Minnesota non- resident liscense in their possession? Unfortunately, I buy between two to six out of state annual liscenses per year, and have never heard of such a thing. Go get your money. I think you ran in to someone who may have charged you a non-resident angler fee, because you fish in more than one state. Good luck
