If I may suggest, you might want to go out with a guide. No guarantee that you'll get into fish, 50% of my guided trips have been without a fish to the boat; but it does increase your chances and you'll surely learn a lot. A bit pricey for sure for most of us, but worth every $ with a good guide. A few others in this forum has expressed the same opinion in the past.
I can recommend two from personal experience, Tanner (his name pops up in every other post here, I'm sure you've noticed) and Kolby Lewis. You can't go wrong with either of them, you'll learn even if the fish stay away.
I also second the opinion on NW Steelheaders, you don't even have to be a member to join their meetings. They are a swell bunch of folks, and very willing to share their knowledge.
