Upon request by any association owning or controlling the fishing rights in any stream or pond the waters of which are stocked with fish by such association at no expense to the state, the commissioner may prescribe, by written regulation, the open and closed seasons, the daily creel and season limits and the legal length for all species of fish taken from such waters, provided no public interest in such waters shall be thereby adversely affected and provided no weir, dam or other obstruction shall be erected for the purpose of stopping the free passage of fish up or down stream. Any person who violates any such regulation shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars and the commissioner may revoke or suspend any license issued by the commissioner to such person.
