Wrong about snagging though. Fish will and does hit depending on variations of the bait you are using. It might take time. You might snag a fish or two. But you will get fish the proper way with some effort.
Currently you wont be fighting for any spots only the most popular holes might have more than a few people fishing them.
As far as edible goes. Been catching fresh salmon al the way to mid November but still do not find king salmon all that tasty so to the smoker they go. Coho and steel on the other hand are very tasty indeed and very god for consumption. Never caught Atlantic yet but that's the stuff you pretty much buy in supermarkets so here goes all you taste preference.
Now if we do go I want all the eggs being a greedy selfish bastard that I am. Must make more caviar and been find it hard to convince people to sell them to me.
Anyways it is a trip of a lifetime and doing it with crazy nj fishing crew is def. a perfect way to do it.

Good advice but I will have to disagree with the salmon biting of course a couple exceptions. They will still hit the first day or so while in the river at the very bottom, or an occasional one on a plug. But the majority of the time especially in the salmon river the fish have been harassed constantly throughout the whole river and very rarely actually bite. Remember just because a fly or egg or whatever your using ends up in the mouth doesn't mean the fish actually bit the presentation. I've probably hooked just as many in the mouth using sponge as I have with any other type of presentation. To catch constantly it's how you use it while staying legal. Once you learn it especially when you learn the river and know where the fish funnel though you can hook the majority in or very close to mouth.
Other than that I completely agree with what you said
