Which weight will compliment a 6wt?

[beer30]

Ended up getting the 4wt Orvis, and promptly put it to use on the Deschutes in Bend, OR. Caught some real little redbands and hooked into a nice 16 bow at a lake by Florence, OR the next week. Happy with my purchase and cant wait till runoff subsides to throw some dries with it.

What are you catching with a 6wt in wyo? My only freshwater rod is a 5wt sage and I catch everything with it, even landed a king once in the anchor river. I'd get a 3wt if I was fishing trout on small water.

I must be feeling like shit, I keep coming off as a real dick.

It's not so much the what you catch but the where. Many a time in Wyoming I have put my 5 or 4 weight away and strung up the 6 weight because the wind is HOWLING.

...and/or you're throwing a big Chernobyl and a bead head dropper, (for example).

Or trying to lift and cast a sinking tip line and a big wet gob of rabbit fur as far as humanly possible. With a rod that won't sag on the backcast and send the streamer into the back of your head.

^^^I forgot that one. I use my 6 for surf casting lead core.

On a float on the Clark Fork, we went into a side-channel frog water to kill some pike, and the guide was like: we don't have a rod. I'm like oh yes we do.

I fish my 4wt xp most days, and use the 6wt when needed.

$.01 = #4wt...either 8'6"(quicker) or a light 9'...fwiw.
StCroix's Ultras(SC IV modulus) or any deal on their Elites would be tits.
