1. For a 9wt rod, is a floating, sinking or an interchangeable line
better suited for steelhead/salmon fishing in fast water?

If steelhead or salmon are taking in fast water, they
are usually on the bottom, i.e. you need a sinking or sink-tip
line (selected according to how fast it will sink the fly
and how deep the water is.)

IMO, using a floating line and adding the weight to your leader is much
more facile.

Um..."facile" or "tactile?"

Curious,

Looking for the right word. I was shooting for "more suitable in more
situations". Maybe adaptable?

Been noticing a tad of aphasia lately, has me a tad worried.

"Facile" is a perfectly good word for what I took to be your intended
meaning. It has negative connotations in its first meaning, but its
secondary definition is on point.

I have little use for sinking lines in fast water. A floating line with
an indicator is usually more effective. Sinking lines are very useful in
stillwater.
