The owners of the margins of rivers are obliged to permit fishermen to take out and spread their nets thereon, and to deposit temporarily the product of the catch, without trespassing upon the estate nor going beyond three meters from the edge of the river, according to the provisions of § 615 of this title, unless the topography of the ground should require a greater width to be fixed in any case. Where there is no servitude of right-of-way along the margins for the common use of the water, the Governor may establish it and fix the width thereof after the proper compensation.
