It is a good thing you posted your question here instead of over on the Warm Water Board. If you had I am sure you would have been told all you need is a 3wt.

I use an 8wt, but that is the biggest rod I own and it suits me. The rod I use is a Diamondback All American. I don't think you could go too wrong with a TFO. I know Cabelas sells them. Haven't made it over your way to their new store yet, but I would think someone in the fly shop should be able to help you.
