Welcome . I'm pretty sure there is lots of info covered in some of the threads here if you poke around. If using flies , check out the fly swap thread .
I also will be in the area at that time and feel free to pm me if you want to share whole water with some SR vets . Sorry I couldn't be more help but I'm in FL right now on a tight schedule with a MM = Mickey Mouse 😀

Tank, What type of fishing will you be doing? Fly rod, Spinning, etc? Aside from baits or lures, You'll need weights, studded waders, leader material, swivels, nippers, polarized sun glasses, and some decent cigars.

I will be using a spinning reel. I have the waders wading boots maybe korkers oh and good cigars lol. I'm not sure what line or swivels or leaders to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

The setup I would use is 10 or 12 pound main line with a black #8 or #12 barrel swivel, on the other end of the swivel tie on no more than 4 feet (NY State law) of leader material (8 or 10 lb), leaving 1-2 inches of a tag. Tie a knot at the end of the tag, and attach the split shots to the tag (the knot will help keep the split shots on the tag). For lures, estaz flies are good as are glo bugs and popsicles/freakazoids or comets will also work. And there are the egg sacs. For salmon, a 2x strong #6 or #8 hook should do it or even a #4. These pound weights for line and leader will do well with a 8-9-10 foot spinning rod. I'm sure other can tweak the above.
