Simplify your style. How much time are you actually fishing something in the water as opposed to working towards that goal? Find your way to keep fishing and be confident. I watched a guy have a great day in early March catching winter steelhead on a vibrax because that is what he knew how to fish for brown trout back home. Any technique will usually work at a time and a place just choose your technique, learn it if you don't know it, and go. It is easy to carry a [Bleeeeep!] ton of gear for salmon and thats great but as a noob I would always recommend simplify.
