I agree that a 5 wt is probably the most versatile weight of rod. But now that I am along in my progression as a fly fisherman, I don't have much desire for my 5 wt. Don't get me wrong, I love that thing. But I wish it was a 6 wt. There aren't many rivers around Utah that can't be fished with a 3 or 4 wt.
I currently have a 3 wt, a 5 wt and a 8 wt. But I wish I had a 3 wt and a 6 wt for my general fishing. As I said, there aren't many rivers around that I couldn't fish with my 3 wt, and the one's that are in need of something bigger, a 6 wt isn't too much. I just wish I had a 6 wt for stillwater fishing and throwing big streamers on rivers. Something with a little more backbone than my 5 wt offers.
