## Opinion text

Mount, J.
(dissenting) — The defendants did not attempt to take fish within the prohibited time. They closed their traps in good faith in the manner provided by law. If that method was not effective, the fault was in the law. The trial court should have directed an acquittal. I therefore dissent.
