first salmon trip ever

going to try some salmon fishing for the first time. where is a good place to maybe be able to hook into some nice kings. i see the salmon river is really popular but is a pretty long drive from brownsville pa. bout 8 hours it looks like. any good place closer??

going to fish from sure. i go to erie for steelhead about 20 times a season and catch 100s of fish. i want to hook into a big king. any suggestions on where to go and where to fish ?

i'd go burt dam or oak orchard if you've never been before. these places are packed(should to shoulder) but its a smaller stream setting and you'll get the feel for it a little easier(what the bites feel like, how the fish lay, etc). but with it being shoulder to shoulder if you need help with something or want to know something about salmon fishing(what your doing wrong/right etc), you can just ask someone. most everyone on the streams are more than happy to help you out and most of them remember their first trip also. hope this helps and have a great season.
