1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
thirty-two hundred and eleven of the Code of Virginia be amended and
re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 3211. What fishing by non-residents is unlawful.—(1) If
any person, not a resident of this State, take or catch fish in any of the
waters thereof in any other way than by line, rod, or pole held in hand,
he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not less than two
hundred nor more than three hundred dollars, and the vessel and fish-
ing apparatus of whatever kind used in the commission of the offense
shall be forfeited to the Commonwealth; and on the failure to pay such
fine he shall be imprisoned in jail not less than two months. Any
resident of this State who enters into a co-partnership or other agree-
ment with intent to defeat the object of this section shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and punished as other violations of this section.

(2) Provided, that the commissioner of the department of game
and inland fisheries may issue to any resident or non-resident he may
see fit, and under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, written
permits authorizing the person or persons to whom said permit is issued,
to take German carp from certain waters designated by him.
