The problem with a walk and wade trip for salmon is whether or not the river you pick for salmon fishing will be closed for the time period you pick. If you are picking June/July I would choose the Kitimat River. A guide can take you river fishing one day and then from there you can use the tips you have picked up to do your own walk and wade for the remainder of the trip.
If it is later in the year, like first week of September and the Fraser River is open you can fish for pinks there, or even the Vedder River in Chilliwack. For fly rod I would use a 7 to 8 weight fly rod, shooting head with a variety of sinking tips and pink flies I would pick up locally from the shops there. Heck you can even go after them with a spinning rod, along with an assortment of pink croc lures. Just my thoughts on the matter.
