I wish I could give you some first hand fishing info specific to October! What I can comment on a bit is that there certainly are some steelhead to be caught in some streams on the KP, and that a 7wt switch rod would be very handy, I think a 7wt single handed rod would be pretty light for steelhead fresh in from the ocean. If you're fishing on some of the bigger rivers a spey rod could be very handy (and fun), but there are quite a few small streams where a 9' rod is "about right". I always like to bring a couple of rods, and an extra reel. Last August I managed to break two rods (both 9' 8wt), thankfully they broke in different sections, so I was able to hobble the various sections together to keep fishing.
Enjoy,
JB
