Is there any laws or regulations on catching crawdads in a river with scuba gear?

(Oregon, USA) Looking to catch some on our next camping trip, and get some river diving in at the same time. Please help!
While I do not know Oregon State law, I am willing to bet the answer is yes. You will likely need a fishing license and you may want to contact your state fish and wildlife about hunting crawdads while scuba diving. There are laws that concern harvesting with scuba diving and you may need to find out what they are.
that must be one big ass river lol…. when i lived in cali i used to catch crawdads all the time. all i used was a string with a hook or u could use a fishing pole but put some airheads(the chewy candy preferably baby blue, lime green or pink) on a hook and they went crazy
