So far, the choices I have been given are
1) SA mastery steelhead wf in 10 weight
2) orvis salmon wf in 11
3) orvis salmon wf in 12 (I think this would be a bad idea).

A fly shop has said that the sa steelhead would be the best choice, and
the orvis salmon would be the second best.

I tried a 9 weight wf on a 7 weight ticr and it was kind of heavy. Any
thoughts on a line that is better than the SA or Orvis?

well, what reel did you go with?
