Anymore, it is almost mandatory to carry a Proclamation to keep up. [

Here is the deal on the Gorge: You can possess 22 total game fish. Of those 6 can belong to the trout family, but of those 6 only 3 can be Kokanee and only 1 a lake trout over 28". A change from years past is that all 6 can be lake trout provided only 1 of those lakers is over 28". You can also possess up to 10 members of the bass family (LMB or Smallies) with no size restrictions. Finally, you can also keep 6 catfish (again with no size restrictions)
I think some of the confusion may lie with some of the urban fisheries where the limit is "4 fish in the aggregate". This of course means that only 4 fish may be kept regardless of species.
I guess the moral of the proc. is that if it says "4 fish in the aggregate" it means 4 total fish, regardless of species. If has different limits for species of fish, the "aggregate fish limit" is found by adding all those different species limits.
Hope this helps.
