Yes you are legal to catch either species of Dicomp existing in CA with your fishing license. But I agree with Josh, netting larvae is easier and quicker than trapping them. I've actually caught them by hand before with a little persistence. Just keep in mind the CA bag and possession limit of 4.
Don't give up on finding an adult. Though not the easiest to find, I have found them during trips out to the coast. You just have to keep in mind the size of the animal you are looking for in relation to the size of the objects you look under, they are large. Almost all of them I have found were under logs that had a gap between the bottom of the log and the ground surface.
