Salmon trip, Part 2

Hello All
  Thanks for the advice from my previous post.  For those that don't know, I'm headed to Burt's dam in a couple weeks. Gonna try to get a few big browns, as well as a salmon or two. A friend told me that my size 10 and 12 egg patterns won't stand up to the  salmon if I hook into one. He said the hooks will break and it is a waist of time to target the browns, because of the number of salmon in the creek. I know my patterns will hold up to a 30 inch fish. I feel confident they will hold up to a large salmon. Not sure if the line will hold. Anyway. What is the bait/fly used to catch these fish? How should I set up my fly rod. I will also have my spinning rod. How should I set up the spin outfit? Any info on how to approach catching a few fish without looking like I've never had a fishing rod in my hands will help.  Thanks?

Risen, would you care to post a pic of this pattern or better explain the proportions? I'm fairly new to tying and I'm always looking for simple productive patterns. I tie a few that sound very similar to this. I'd just like to see whats working for you.

been having alot of luck with a very simple pattern i tie
using a long shank hook
tie in a wrap the full length of the shank with .2 lead
go to the curve of the hook, i'm using a dark blue yarn called (midnight mo-hair) but dark blue dubbing would work the same, wrap that up to about 1/8th inch from the eye
tie in black estez and do 1 1/2 to 2 wraps, tie it off
works like a charm

Hey all
Caught a few. Only one was legally "hooked". Had a good time. The experience was one I wont forget soon.
