25660.  On the application of any person interested, the board of
supervisors may by ordinance declare all or any portion of any

fishing therein, if it:
   (a) Does not lie within or run through cultivated land lying
within the county.
   (b) Is stocked or supplied in whole or in part with fish by the
state or counties.
   (c) Has not been declared by law to be navigable and in fact is
not navigable for commercial purposes.
   From the time the ordinance becomes effective, the slough, river,
or stream is a public highway for such purpose, subject only to the
reservations contained in this article.



25661.  If any owner of land adjacent to or across which the slough,
river, or stream declared to be a highway for fishing flows does not
consent to its use for such purpose with the right to pass along the

the right of passage to the county by suitable instrument in
writing, the board may contract for and purchase any such rights.
