Newbie question about rod choice for fly-fishing in NJ

All,

thanks for your suggestions.

i will be fishing in the small trout streams in NJ. and fishing for trout.
most of the streams are in pretty dense vegatation, so i thought that a
shorter rod would be better. but i am just starting out, so maybe a longer
would be better to learn on. what do you suggest in rod length?

as far as weight, i am guessing that the 4 would be good enough for small
trout streams. but again, i am learning, so would a heavier weight be
better for me to learn on?

cheers,
mark
