I think you can handle almost every freshwater fishing situation with a 3-wt, 5-wt, and a 7-wt. If you prefer "evens" make those 4, 6, and 8. If you were to include large pike or light saltwater angling, add a 9 or 10-wt and you have it all.
I've always been a little odd, so I went with the 3, 5, 7 rods. I have WF lines for all three plus a sink-tip for the 7.
Next week, I'll be floating the Missouri and will be flinging nymph rigs with the 7 and dries with the 5. The rainbow there average 15" and the browns can hit five pounds. I'm not overgunned with either.
