I think it should be the individual states. The Red River between Oklahoma and Texas you need only have your state license to fish on your states side of it, but if you run a trotline across to the other bank then you need an Oklahoma Non-resident license. to go along with your Texas license. Lake Texoma sells a Lake license that you can fish anywhere on the the lake but it's not good for fishing up in the Red River with if your in a boat. Arkansas and Louisianna you can fish on any of the lakes on the boundaries between them and Texas with your Texas, Arkansas or Louisianna license as long as it's valid for your state. I kinda like the way they have it down here and wouldn't want another state trying to tell us what we can catch, how many we catch, and how many fishing poles or hooks we can use. Better off just left to the states. Pay enough taxes and license fees without having a new game commission to fund.
