If so, how so?

Thanks!
Absolutely! Use a rod and reel set up with lead core line. Early in the spring the salmon are going to be on top or within 10' of the surface, same with rainbows. Heck, you could just drag a spinning rod or fly rod right on top of the water with a streamer fly and hook up!

If I were you I would go Visit AJ's bait and tackle in Meredith and he can set you up with everything you need very inexpensively.

Good luck!
