5937. The owner of any dam shall allow sufficient water at all
times to pass through a fishway, or in the absence of a fishway,
allow sufficient water to pass over, around or through the dam, to
keep in good condition any fish that may be planted or exist below
the dam. During the minimum flow of water in any river or stream,
permission may be granted by the department to the owner of any dam
to allow sufficient water to pass through a culvert, waste gate, or
over or around the dam, to keep in good condition any fish that may
be planted or exist below the dam, when, in the judgment of the
department, it is impracticable or detrimental to the owner to pass
the water through the fishway.
