Any thing from a 3 to a 6 Usually. Probably 6 will be best since most rods are
marked light due to people wanting "fast" rods. If your casting ability is as
good as mine, you wont be able to tell the difference between a 4 and a 5. If
you really can tell the difference, I'd suggest doing a search on ' "common
Cents" fly rod'. It's a system for determining rod weight based on deflection
curves using various weights; in this case pennies are used. Hence the name.
I like to try various weight lines and use what feels the best to me. Try the
rod at the distance you'll be fishing, not the "look at me"" long distances.

what weight line does one use if a rod described as
a "4/5" weight?
