What fly rod weight for Strawberry, Scofield, etc.?

I guess I should quantify this first, to the O.P are you casting from shore? Or tooning? Now that will make a bit of difference in rod weight to help in casting, landing/fighting fish is fine on a 5wt.[/quote]

My bad. Should've clarified. I will be on a pontoon boat.
