What size flies are you using with your 5 weight

[JohnScott]

I bought a st croix legend ultra 8' 5 weight several months ago to use to fish for panfish and small bass but wondered what would be the max. size fly you would use with a five weight.

... but I have fished a tandem of ( two ) heavily weighted size 6 4XL stonefly nymphs under a large yarn indicator using a medium fast 9' for 5 wt and a DT5F line. Yes, it took some concentration, and it wasn't the easiest rig to manage, but I did catch trouts on the South Fork of the Snake with that set up.

The point is - just go do it. You'll find out what works for you with your skills and equipment.
