Demarcation lines for freshwater license

I fish the pawcatuck river in Connecticut for spring bass at the development directly across from the Westerly Cemetary and just curious if I need a license at this location??

I'm not familiar with that area, but here is the statute....

Sec. 26-109. Dividing lines between inland and marine waters in Groton, Stonington, the Niantic River and the Housatonic River. (a) The dividing line between inland water and the marine district in the towns of Groton and Stonington shall be a line five hundred feet north of U.S. Route 1 extending from the west bank of the Thames River to the Rhode Island line, northerly above which dividing line shall be known as "inland water" and southerly below which line shall be known as "the marine district". This section applies to tidal waters only and does not pertain to freshwater ponds or streams in the marine district, which ponds and streams shall be considered as inland waters.

If you are below the line 500' north of RT 1 then you are in the Marine District and don't need a license.
