Agree with Scott, 7s and 8s are the norm.  I have a 7 and have use it from here to Alaska on fish up to 20 lbs., so I think they are perfectly adequate for most GL Steelhead.  But, if throwing the chicken flies is your thing, or if you plan to overlap with the run of Kings up there, the 8 may be a better choice.  Can't really go wrong with either.  Have fun in the search!

I fished the Salmon River for the first time about a week and a half ago. I used a single handed 9-foot 8 wt. While It worked nicely, though I couldn't cover as much water as those who were using longer switch rods. 

I think you'd be happy with an 11-foot 8 weight.

Hello all:

I need some suggestions on the wt of switch rod for steelhead in Erie and Salmon river. I wonder what weight of a 11 ft switch rod is good for steelhead?

Thanks!

Yang
