of water not exceeding one hundred (100) surface acres, lying
wholly within the boundaries of privately owned lands, operated
for the purpose of permitting the owner to provide fishing
facilities for fishermen. It does not include natural streams,
natural ponds or waters impounded by the damming of natural
streams with a normal stream flow in excess of five (5) second

preserve. The sources of water for fishing preserve waters are

lawfully diverted from a natural stream, or the damming of
natural streams with a normal stream flow of five (5) second
