Dogster, I can answer that for you. Most people choose an 8 wt. because of it's overall versatility, some people choose a 6 wt. just for the fun of it, I use a 9 and a 10 wt. because I like throwing heavier flies, and when its really windy outside. So, as you can see, it depends. Send me an IM and I'll give you my number. I have several different weight outfits I'll let you try out. You can take them with you to try on the water. That way, you can decide what will fit your needs best.
