Need some tackle rules advice

[dieselhp]

I will going out on the lake from the Salmon river. I understand that you can not have lures with more then one hook on it. Does that mean as long as I do not throw a line in the water while I am in the river going to the lake I am ok? Alos If I do put a line in the water while in the river I have to put my other lures in the truck?

Thanks for the help.
