If the above reciprocal laws are in effect as to that part of the Connecticut River lying within the states of New Hampshire and Vermont the executive director is authorized to adopt special rules as to fishing in such waters, after consultation with the like officer of the state of Vermont, in the same manner and with the same effect as the executive director is authorized to do with respect to boundary lakes under the provisions of RSA 211:4.
