[QUOTE="CATCHDAWG, post: 5219354, member: 2210"] ^^^pretty much what he said^^^. Kid at work is wanting to get into fly fishing and we had the same conversation. He wants to fish both tailwaters and wild streams. A 5wt is ideal for tailwaters but overkill for wild streams and vise versus for a 3wt so that makes a 4wt ideal for a middle ground. As Setterman mentioned, a longer rod is gonna give you a little more control and distance in open water. In the smaller, tighter streams where you can’t “cast” they are easier to roll, bow cast or just fling with some distance. [/QUOTE]
