Man you are opening the can of worms here My preferred method for both salmon and rainbows is drifting roe under the float. For salmon it is a bit heavier line with 12 pound test leader and egg loop knot. More often then not i am using roe on the skein, sometimes roe bags. Salmon does react on heavy rattling obnoxiously bright lures. Not to feed but to chase this nasty things away. Lures should not be used anywhere there is a chance to snag the fish.
Trout often follow the salmon run hoping to feed on salmon roe, then come for the fall or "fake run".This is the fish that requires different approach. Smaller roe bags( sometimes 2 or 3 eggs only)in different colors, worms, beads, small lures/spinners. You newer know what will they eat today.I use 8 pound test fluorocarbon leaders, smaller hooks, smaller floats. Center pin rod 12-13' is advisable but not compulsory. You can do well with spinning rod. This is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. Feel free to ask the questions
