Default Line/rod weights and types of fish

panfish usually take anything between fly size #1 and (small)
size #14, the normal range of flies for which a 7-wt outfit is perfect.

A 7wt outfit is perfect for panfish ?!!?


My error: I should have written that fly size #2 to #14 is
the normal range of flies for which a 7-wt outfit is perfect.
(The #1 streamer is just too heavy for most casters on a
7-=wt; #2s are OK.) As the original text suggests, the
7-wt outfit is perfect for this range of fly size -- not for
any one particular species of fish.
