§

4139. Closed waters by agreement with owners of land

The

commissioner, by agreement with the owners of lands through which private

waters flow or in which private waters lie, the same not being boatable waters,

may close such waters, or parts thereof, against fishing and such waters while

closed shall be considered closed waters. In the name of the state, the

commissioner may receive from the owners of such lands such deeds or writings

as are necessary for this purpose. Such waters shall not thereafter during the

term for which they are closed be included in private preserves or propagation

farms. Notice that such waters are closed shall be given by notices posted

conspicuously upon the banks or shores of such waters. (Added 1961, No. 119, §

1, eff. May 9, 1961.)
