What should I do before I go salmon fishing?

Asked by dindinbaby (329points) June 23rd, 2010

I won a trip through work (yes I have a great job) that will send me to Canada (near Vancouver) to go salmon fishing for a week. I am not a big fisherwoman, but have fished for striper on Texoma, trout in Yellowstone, catfish on the Verdigris River, and more crappie than i can count. My question is, what do I need to know before I go, so that I don’t look like the new girl on the boat? The trip will be outfitted, so I don’t need any equipment. What equipment will I be using? Is there any special terminology specific to salmon fishing? Any techniques that would beneficial for me to learn before I go?
