Provided that for the purposes of this regulation, and dur-
ing a period of three months from the date hereof (but no

possession any fish if, having unintentionally caught the
same in a net or seine of lawful mesh whilst lawfully fishing
therewith, he returns all such fish to the water when sorting
out the haul.
