My primary fishing is stillwater. I recommend an Intermediate, a Type III and a Type VII to make it easy, but you can be quite successful with a floating and different length leaders.
I second that!
I would take both rods and string one with a floating line and one with a sinking line. The most versatile sinking line is a type 3.
The same dry fly line you use on rivers will work on lakes. Oh and try stripping soft hackles during a hatch if you can't find a dry they''ll hit. I have even stripped a chironomid and got hits on that. Just cast it out even on a type 3 sinking line (but a floating line will work better most of the time) and strip it in.
