Decided to go with 4wt for most of my fishing
Joe Bradley 7.5' 4wt; snappy bamboo with loads of style and so fun to fish (Slow down!!)
Sage LL 8.5' 4wt: most streams and mid size rivers, let's even small trout put a decent bend in it and can handle bigger fish really well.
Hydros 9' 4wt tip flex: Fast long rod that that does need a bit of line out to cast at its best but is light and fun to use. Have landed big fish efficiently
And 6wt for the bigger lakes and rivers
Orvis 7 piece pack rod 9' 6wt: Mostly if I'm backpacking and lakes come into play.
Wright and McGill Waterseal Bamboo 8.5 6wt: heavy and delightful. I don't cast this rod as well as others but it's fun and lovely.
Sage XP 8.5 6wt: belongs to my buddy and I use it for the big rivers like the Missouri in Craig, the Henry's fork, and streamers on the Madison.
(In the market for my own or a similar replacement)

"He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman."
