The department may select any place upon any river or stream within this State as a fish sanctuary. Upon making such selection the board, upon approval in writing of a majority of the members of the county legislative delegation from the county in which such proposed fish sanctuary is to be located, may designate and set apart such place as a fish sanctuary. No one sanctuary shall exceed two miles in length along any river or stream. When such sanctuary shall be so designated and set apart, the board shall have it adequately and conspicuously marked and shall designate the limits thereof in all directions.
