Good point.

But while you may be standing on your own land lakeside, when you cast out into the water (Winnipesaukee) you are fishing in property owned by the State of New Hampshire. Therefore you need a license.

This limited exception is for resident landowners alone while fishing a waterbody that is entirely within the limits of that landowner's property line.
