With time you can gather more rods from 4wt to 8wt+ like the rest of us addicts

After 45+ years of fly-fishing, and an embarrassing pile of rods, reels, fly tying stuff and all the associated goodies, if I was limited to one rod it would be a good 9ft, 6 weight and a reel with changeable spools. Start with one spool of floating line, and a second with a medium/heavy sink tip.
