Then you would be better off with a 4 or 5 wt.
Catching 6-8" trout isn't much fun on a 6wt.
Better yet, a shorter 3wt. and a 5wt.
Hmmmm... if only one rod, probably a 9 foot 5wt.
Eventually, you'll fill your quiver with a multitude of rods of several weights and multiples of each. Hahahahaha! What fun! Enjoy the journey.

I also believe your ideal rod for this application would be a 4 wt, that’s just my opinion, and I’ve found for all the smaller streams my 4 wt rods have been able to handle 20”+ rainbows, to 26” bull trout, with the flexibility to set the hooks nicely in the smaller fish, such as Rockies and Shunda brookies, however 5wt is great for your one stop shop!
