You are pretty much on the mark. I might consider a 7 wt (or even and 8 wt), depending on the size of carp being targeted. I know i used to go steeleheading and salmon fishing with my 8 wt when I lived in Michigan. I am one of those who believe in getting the fish in as quickly as possible when fishing, especially if they are going to be rreleased. I don't like the idea of being undergunned.
