I have a 9' berkley air rod surprisingly very light. I use a lot of flies and egg patterns on the lightest line I can possibly use to land the fish. 8-10 lb for salmon. Drift bait for salmonas u would trout in NJ. Nothing beats landing a 20-30 lb fish on a 8 lb leader.

Nice. Heading up next Moonday afternoon and then the following weekend.
Lil early for the Staircase and with such low water I am suprised they have gone that far already.
Nice report.
