Default Re: Suggestions on Fly fishing weights

Cool. I appreciate both of your inputs. I am going to target trout but I do fish NJ,NY, an PA. I assume that for bigger NY rivers I would need the 5 wt. I figure Jersey rivers are fairly smaller so I should be ok with the 3wt. Sometimes with my spinner, i've hooked into monsters in PA relative to river size. I think basically, I'm trying to figure out that if I hook into a 5 or 6 lb trout, will a 3 wt be too light to bring it in without beating it up. I do catch and release in rivers so I dont like when I hurt the fish and it cant go back safely.
