Having grown up back east and fished many of the rivers coming into lake Mich and Ontario for salmon I can tell you its way differnt out here. You would not hold many salmon in most of these rivers for very long on that line. These rivers typically are in the 2000+ cubic feet per second range and are about 100' or less across. When we are salmon fishing we are typcally dealing with spring runoff. Back east the fall runs were coming into the rivers at low flows. I used a 9 1/2 foot noodle rod with 10-12lb line and landed 15-25 kings without much problem. Not out here. They would spool that outfit 99% of the the time without stopping. Ive tried them on medium action rods and 20lb line and have landed a few but mostly because I got lucky.
Maybe you might be able to land one in a big slow pool but My money would be on the fish.
