Wish I could help you with this, better yet go with you. Speaking of regs, Washington State requires you to have, at a minimum, a PHD in law to interpret their reg book(s). I gave up and simply just fish (catch & release on everything except salmon) and hope for the best. If I get a ticket, its because the warden hiked into the mountains six miles to do so. I like the scenery and solitude and catching a few trout every now and then is icing on the cake.
Take Care and hope to see y'all this summer.
