I must say a 3 or 4 wt would be a nightmare of frustration for a beginner for anything but small dry flys. For rod control,hook setting,casting in wind,nymphing,streamer fishing,float tubing and getting distance in a cast. 5 or even 6 are better for performance. Having a good time is more about the rod performance than how much the fish bend the rod. 3 or 4 wt. is the perfect second rod for our area.
