I brought a 6wt and an 8wt 11' switch and a few 9' 8wt rods to the Salmon River last year. I ended up fishing the 9' rod with a Rio Outbound short. Roll casting was super easy. Never felt the need to bring out the big sticks even while swinging. When its crowded up there a long rod and line belly just take up too much space.

That is plenty for the majority of fishing situations. 
 
As far as what you could do with it, I'm sure there are people out there who could throw way over a 100ft with that thing.

So after a lesson in spey casting and a fair amount of practice over the past 6 months I feel that I have progressed from the "I suck at this stage", through the " I'm not as bad at this anymore stage", to the " I think I can do this stage", to the "ok I'mcomfortable throwing a variety of casts stage". 
      My question is:  with an 11ft. 8wt. switch rod how far would an average to good caster be able to throw a fly.  I marked my running line in 10 ft. increments and have a 33ft. head and at this time I am able to cast fairly nice loops/ casts out to about 70 -75ft. on a regular basis with several different casts.   Is this about what I can expect from an 11ft.  switch rod?  I feel I will be more than able fish anything I will need to at this point.  Anyone with opinions / thoughts ?
