If you have a 'traditional' ff setup, I would not use that in sal****er.
Sal****er has a tendency to make

Sal****er fish
also tend to be bigger and stronger, so your reel is most likely
outmatched.

that is kind of what i was thinking- thanks

Actually your 5/6 weight trout gear would be just fine for Sea Run
Cutthroats. I caught them off the shore quite a lot on Whidby and
Fidalgo islands. A gravely steep bank on a falling tide with a size six
or so flashy streamer almosty always netted a few. Not monsters but
usually in the 14 to 18 inch range. Here's what they look like.

And here's a typical fly "the crystal micky" down on the bottom of the
page of a site that may interest you anyway since it's out of Comox up
on the northern end of Vancouver Island

Just be sure and give your gear a good freshwater washdown and lube at
the end of the day and you won;t hurt it a bit. Of course if it goes to
pieces I'm sure Uncle Walt can hook you up!
