It is my understanding that as of May 1/13 the Vedder will be fly fishing only. If a person wanted to bring their cp setup and use flies is this acceptable?

Not allowed. See the definition of fly fishing on page 88 at:

tks rod

We used to use 7 to 10 feet of the centre of a 850 grain shooting head nail knotted to some mono running line. Tie a leader (maybe 4 feet) then add a fly and just 'strip cast' this with an underhanded flip. It could be thrown 50 feet or more easily, sinks like a rock and meets the definition of fly fishing in the regs. This should be easy to adapt to a CP setup. CP reels like the original silex series were once popular as spey reels. If your rod is relatively soft it should work like a charm! Rio currently offers T lines in 20 grain per foot densities should just about do it.Scientific Anglers still makes a deep water express taper and the 850 grain 30 foot line may still be available.

So does that mean that you can't even use a strike indicator?
-
That's correct. When fly fishing only regs are in place you cannot use strike indicators or split shot.

The heading on that page reads " Definitions you should know "

Lots of 25' deep canyon water on the lower Ved in May lol. Make sure you have a good number of flies. You could use braid instead or mono and cast it 60' and snag bottom twice as fast.

Maybe he doesn't have a fly rod and still wants to fish the Vedder in May?
There is very little difference between a CP rod and a Spey rod, but a CP reel doesn't typically have enough capacity.

just why?
Why? To sink the fly in heavy flows. Worked like a charm. Caught some nice fish that way but not pleasant to cast. It's all but disappeared since it's now possible to toss 10 to 20 feet of t-14 or heavier sinktip with a skagit line.
