A 7 is good for those. I do not fly fish for King (chinook) because they almost require a 9 or 10 and these rods are tiresome to cast all day.

This site has a good fly rod selector at the bottom of the page: http://www.orvis.com/store/shop.aspx?dir_id=758&shop_id=1446&cm_ven=performics&cm_cat=Cross%20Current%20Guide%20Service&cm_pla=NO&cm_ite=875&adv=875&bhcp=1
