{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: which rod for the shenandoah?

I agree with Rob -- having a backup of ANY length and weight is a good idea.  You never know --

I tend to use a 9' 5-weight or a 9' 8-weight, mostly depending upon my mood.  It all works.

I like throwing large flies for smallmouth.  I normally fish an 8 weight rod because of this.  Big fly = big fish. 

Floating the south fork this weekend and was wondering which rod people would use.  I have a 9 ft 4wt and a 9 ft 8wt to chose from.  Unfortunately I broke my 6 weight on the potomac a couple weeks ago so am stuck choosing between a rod that is probably a tad undergunned vs a rod that is a tad overgunned.
