"6 wt is a little much for bass. But why wait until spring? You aren't too
far from some great steelhead fishing, are you? For that the 6 wt is just
right, with a disc drag large arbor reel."

I really like that idea but I don't know how to fly fish right now. So, I
have some work to do before I actually make it to a stream.

Let me follow your great comment up with what may seem a silly question.
You wrote that 6 wt is a little much for bass. So, I'm guessing that you
feel that 5 wt is better for bass (asking because I really don't know - I've
always used a spinning rod and reel and have never had a problem bringing in
any fish with, say, a 20 lb test line). What is the largest, weight wise,
fish that you can land with a 5 wt line in fly fishing? I guess that was
what my original question should have stated.
