The rod weight rating or its action has nothing to do with the target
fish. The fly size, general conditions, and the consequent line weight
required is what determines the rod you need.

Yes and no.

The fly size and general conditions are largely determined by the target
fish (how big they are, what they eat, what kind of water they're in,
how hard they fight, etc.), therefore the rod size is largely determined
(or at least strongly influenced by) the target fish.
