Dear Rich,

The rod and line you have will be more than adequate for dry fly fishing.

A 5 weight rod is a great all-purpose trout fishing rod. It wasn't too awful long ago that most people never even owned a fly rod lighter in weight than a 5 weight.

You may find in time that you "want" a lighter fly rod for strictly dry fly fishing, but as someone who has caught trout on trico's and 6X tippet using a 6 weight Loomis GLX I can tell that you do not "have" to get a lighter rod.

Best Wishes,
Avalon
