I would second the Terrace area. However with closures the past few years, keeping anything other than a pink “may” be tough.
If you are walking and wading, Skeena is okay there are a few spots you could hit. Meat hole, Ferry island, But to really access a lot of the best spots you need a jet.
I would recommend you instead hit Kitimat. If you go end of July you will have a chance at a bunch of different species. Access for walk and wade is more manageable.
Stay in terrace. Copper river motel. 30 mins to kitimat river.
Rod rentals. Not too sure. See if you can borrow one, but with the understanding if you blow it up you pay for repairs.
But and half decent 8 or 9wt with reel wouldn’t break the bank.
Send me a PM if you want more info, heck I might even give you few gps spots to check out. But only if you want to catch big salmon 😉
