In marked contrast to the above TFO TiCr I'd suggest the Winston WT 8'6" 5 wt. It is my favorite rod of all time and fits right in your gap. It is the quintessential trout rod, a classic. It's a true 5 wt. that actually casts best with 5 wt. lines. Beautiful dry fly rod, fishes nymphs well and dry/dropper well. It's not a parking lot, distance competition, casting rod. It is a fly fishing rod and for me the smoothest, most accurate 5 wt. I've ever cast.
