I agree, small streams a four weight, I even use a 2 wt., but I have several to choose from. If I could only have one and mind you, I fish Utah, Idaho and Montana, it would be a 5 weight. Delicate enough for small streams but backbone for bigger, plus bigger flies. Plus Stillwater use. The action of the rod is also going to determine the presentation of flies. I actually have an eight weight that is lighter than most five and even four weights. I have used it to cast #26 dries.
Again, I am just saying "One" rod, get one that can cast weight, use on streams, creek and rivers plus stillwater. I think a 5' no less than 8' length.
Add to this, this is a beginner.
