Default Rod WT?

Hey Gang,

I currently have a 7/8 WT rod, and I'm thinking about finding a rod with a lower WT. My schedule has changed a bit as of late, and I'll be able to do more evening fishing trips. I will be hoping to get into some pothole lakes around Edmonton, as I work in the City and live near Onoway.

The 7/8 was a gift as my first fly rod. Would it be worth it to get a lower WT rod? Will it make much of a difference in the fishability of smaller fish? I'd also like to try my hand at Pike fishing with it, and fishing the NSR, so that is where I'm torn. It's either sell the 7/8 to get a lighter rod, or keep the 7/8 and fish with it.

Thanks for your feedback,

Jeff
