I can't comment on UOTF as many of the posters there are very good friends, but they do not pull punches, that's for sure.
Fly Fishers are more special than people give credit. They will take whatever they have and "MAKE" it work. Many only have one choice. Maybe because of money or maybe because they rely on the spin or bait gear if they are not achieving their goal with a fly.
As time and more money come, we learn what each of us find to be more a asset to our style.
Talking any fish over 24", a 6 wt to 8 wt. is certainly not out of the norm, in fact for the fish sake, probably advised if you plan on C&R.
Although fish are smaller in Henry's Lake, I still advise people to take at least a 6 wt. You can catch and land them on smaller, but I have had the Brookies more than once straighten a hook.
Strawberry is another one I recommend at least a 6 wt. The 30" and up being landed there these days dictates that.
But, I know a couple of guys that swear a 6 wt for Tiger Musky is all you need.
