 company, or corporation owning, op-
 erating or using the same. 4. As soon as practicable notices will be posted to indicate the extent
 of the waters closed to fishing at the mouth of each stream. The absence
 of such notices. however, will not re lieve any person or persons from full
 responsibility of fishing within the
 prohibited area.
