I would say a 4 weight and a 8 weight would be pretty good.

They cover most if not all fresh water fish, trout stream to all but the largest salmon.

Two? Two? Nope, can't have two.

3wt, 5wt, 6wt, 7wt, 9wt, 10wt.... might need to add a 12wt at some point.

I also have a 9 wt. which I only use a few times a year. Caught a 36" pike with my 6 wt. no problem.

I have a 4wt, 6wt and 8wt, and I use the 4wt the most, followed by the 8wt. The 6wt was my first fly rod but I don't use it very often any more.
