This year I have decided to get serious. I have a 7wt rod and 6wt rod
for smaller streams. One of the things that I have been doing lately
is talking to guys that have fly fishing shops here in northern
California where I live. They are usually good with Tips and
encouragement. I had a guy taking me out into the parking lot and give
me tips on casting and roll casting. Roll Casting is a must. Because I
live In Oroville with it's lake,

You will definitely get hooked if you try roll casting in a parking lot w a
hook on and a wind comes up
I am sure that I must have done that at least once.

I fish rivers and streams w 4 - 5 and 6 wt for big rivers and big lakes
The 4 & 5 is for normal to smaller rivers and I have 3 wt for brushy
streamns and creek as it is a short rod

As Larry ( I think) already said

A 6 wt is as heavy as one may want for trout.
