May sound dumb, but I hadn't thought about the fishing license—thanks for the reminder.
How does someone avoid pulling up a salmon?
I'll continue to look up the suggested gear—please continue to share tips.

Usually, if you suspend your bait more shallow than deep (in deeper water) you may (not guaranteed) catch salmon, whereupon F&G suggests cutting the line and leaving the hook in the salmon’s mouth. Rainbows are caught in sandy areas near shore in very shallow water. Lake trout love the bottom so you should have your bait near it. Panfish, like perch, bluegills will be in schools and so will white perch and they can be anywhere in the water column. Bass love the weeds and structure like submerged trees and rocks. Pickerel can be found in slack waters around weeds.
