After digging I found this little slice of info. So does this mean that guides taking clients up into most of the high mountain streams need to purchase permits? And if so who is enforcing this?
Fees for guide and instruction permits:
34 The fees for guiding and instructing permits are the fees set by written directive which may
(a) provide for fees in respect of permits authorizing persons to act as guides or to conduct courses of paid instruction in outdoor activities in parks and recreation areas, and
( B ) for that purpose, classify such permits and provide for different fees for different classes.
