I hear ya with all the different variables. My trout rod is a #3/4 that is 7'4". Works great for the tight creeks I have to fish for trout. I have used it on the big river for smalies but was only able to throw small flies comfortably, if I wanted any distance on the cast. Tried throwing a Clouser but didn't work so good, plus I was scared I would snap the rod on a bad back cast.
