dave524 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 5 weight for trout and 7 for smallmouth bass would be my pick, I use heavier for largies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowMan Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Agree with Dave...a 9 foot 5 weight is the most versatile choice for resident Trout. A 10 foot 7 weight is perfect for Steelhead and will take care of Bass too. A 6 wt is a compromise for both, but frankly a little too much for small stream trout and a little under gunned for Steelies and Bass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcreekdad Posted Tuesday at 02:30 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:30 PM Depends on the trout. If you are fishing for large browns, steelhead, or lakers, I'd go 7, maybe even 8. Depends on the size of the quarry. I've used an 8 when fishing for large brookies and lakers in NWT, Manitoba, Quebec, and God's Lake/River. We were using midsized (3 - 4")streamers. If you are stream fishing in Ontario, a 5 or 6 should do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
