An 8 wt will work great for big strippers.  A little on the "telephone pole" side for regular size bass and trout.  I use a 2-4 wt for trout, a 6 wt for bass & strippers.  Course I've never caught a landlocked stripper larger than 9 pounds either.

       I was just wondering, would a 8wt be to much for trout, bass, and striper? If so, what would be good for a combo rod for them? Will be using mainly streamers and surface poppers.
             Also, I was talking with a guest last night at the hotel. He said that as a boy in Montana, he used to "clean up" wit a floating GRHE. He stated that his Dad tied all of their flies, and that the floater was the most effective one they had. I asked him to describe it and he said it was exactly like an ordinary GRHE, but that it floated just below the film. Has any one heard of such a fly or how it could be done?
