OK, time to show my begginer colors.

What are some of the typical rigs used when fishing Dick Nites and other lures for salmon in rivers. Are they fished behind typical drift rigs (pencil lead type), tied to the main line with some split shot added, or what else? I am stuck on the bank and haven't figured out the proper way to use these lures. Thanks in advanced for the help.
