Dan made an observation that he likes a 7'6" 3wt. I also like that
length, but when you already have an 8'6" 5wt, I might shrink the length
a bit for 7' 3wt or even 6'6" 2/3wt. There are a lot of choices out
there, but think about what type of fishing you will be doing with it.
Probably a fair amount of roll casting to keep you fly out of the
rhododendrons or other streamside shrubs.

For a pure small/overgrown brook trout rod, I would even consider a 7'
4/5wt.

The joy of fly rods is there are so many to choose from, and there is no
one, "right" choice.
