I’m with John regarding what constitutes my decision making process. For most trout that I fish for here I really don’t “need” a 5wt or 6wt, but depending on what kind of water I am working, how I am fishing it, and how much wind I will be contending with I often will go for one of my heavier rods. If I am dry fly fishing for trout, and I’m not fighting fierce winds or high water, I almost always grab my 8’ 3wt or my 8’ 4wt.
For streamer fishing or mousing on the other hand ... 6wt every time.
