georginaisle Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) I'm looking to buy a fly combo and don't know if 6 weight is too small or 8 weight is too big It will be used mostly for trout 2-8 lbs Edited September 30, 2021 by georginaisle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I use a 5 wt for those small river fish . 9 wt for those big feisty fall runners here on the notty . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference where I convert Spey Rods to Float rods for Steelhead they're almost exclusively 5 and 6 weights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 6wt would be be the ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboater Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 I liked 5 or 6 for trout on smallish streams/rivers. 8-10 (sinking tip) for bass and pike, when you eventually go that route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
