DBR,
You mentioned that you wanted to fish some still water. For that and an all purpose single rod, I'd go with a 6 wt because it is better for distance and wind on still water, but is still capable of having a reasonable amount of finesse for smaller fish and smaller water. If you can swing two outfits, I'd recommend a 5 or 4 as has already been mentioned and then a 7 for stillwater. I like a 7 for stillwater because of added castable distance. It is also very nice if you get on a lake such as Henry's where you often need the ability to cast in the wind.
Just my two cents.
