Soliciting opinions on the ideal weight for southern Alberta - would mainly be fishing within K Country, Mountain Parks and on the Bow.
Guess I am looking for a good "all around" weight.
Realistically I don't see a lot of BC fishing in my future but would be nice to have a rod which kept my options open.

A nice fast action 4wt is a great southern AB rod. If you plan on using it on the Bow, it will be usable unless you start throwing big triple stonefly nymph rigs or streamers. Unlike the mountain streams, where you can find some cover from the wind, but the Bow is wide open, and a 4wt sucks on a windy day. And there are a lot of windy days on the Bow.
