I've landed smallmouths up to 7 lbs without wetting my backing. The rod
I choose is determined more by the size and weight of the fly, than by
the size of the fish.

In rivers (wading) a 6 weight.

On large lakes (boating), casting distance is more critical, so I
generally have both a 6 weight, and a 9 weight (for the BIG flys), in
the boat. If I was limited to one rod, I'd bring a 7 weight.
