I currently own a 4 wt and as much as I love it, it's a pain to fish larger streamers with, obviously.

I have caught many species of fish, but bull trout have eluded me. However, I went on pike intensive this summer. I used a 6wt and an 8wt. Now, I would not consider fishing for pike with anything less than an 8wt unless times were desperate (9 and 10 wt were better).
Besides, if the unfortunate should ever fall on you, with an 8wt, you have bonefish and steelhead rod when the opportunity hits. Both are addictions that are hard to shake.
