Mary Ann and I took one of my Bamboo Switch Rods out recently on the Metolius River and the Deschutes River, swinging for larger trout or steelhead.  We experimented with several different leader set-ups and flies on a Snowbee 4/5 Switch Line.  This 10′  6″  5 wt rod worked extremely well with AirFlo Intermediate and Super Fast Sinking (4.9 inches/sec) Polyleaders with unweighted or moderately weighted streamers and intruder-style flies.  Though we didn’t hook up on any larger fish, we still have a great time.  Here are a couple of photos:
