Salmon River tackle

[fishpro28]

Have never fished for salmon before and want to give it a try. Can any point me in the right direction as far as tackle....rods, line, reel size, hook size. Used the search feature and didn't come up with much. Also tried google and only come up with tackle shops and guides. Trying to use stuff that I have ie.. surf rods, but will grab a salmon/steelhead rod if I have to. Trying to head up this weekend, but depends on work schedule. Thanks, Mike
