I agree a 6 is a must have. In fact the BIG fish I have landed were on a 6 and not my 8, however the 8 is perfect for grass carp in the 30+" range.
I see more a 2 weight for like the Uintas and a 4 weight for the local rivers, but the right 5 weight can be gold.
I mean I have some real top line 5 weights that are perfect anywhere. The full flex Far and Fine can make a 2" fish feel like a whale and the same with my Bamboo. But the LT and the JWF make it such a joy on any size fly or fish. All are 5 weights. Then the 10' 5 weight for windy days, makes mending simple.
Just me, like I said and I do have some nice 3 weights,....just see the 4 doing so much more.
