I just found out today that we will be going to the Salmon River NY this weekend. I have never fished for salmon so I don't actually know much about this and have some questions:

1. I have 8wt rod - will it be adequate - I do not think my 5wt would do...?
2. What kind of tippet size is recommended?
3. What flies would work on land locked salmon?
4. Anyone knows any fly shops in afe of Pulaski, NY?
5. Ca anyone give me any sort of advice\ tips \strategy\ good spots etc.

Any help would be aprreciated.

Thanks.
