When I first started fishing, I didn't read the DFG regs, cover to cover. Then I made a mistake and it cost me $200. The answer to your question is pretty straight forward in the regs. There are other things which are complicated in the regs but not the net issue. Not trying to be difficult but in the long run, it will help you.
