I just picked up a Cabela's 9' #5 4-piece for this trip to Idaho. According to the seemingly erudite customer at Sportsman's I had to hit up for advice, it should work well for smaller river trout.

On a side note: If the guy who was working the fishing counter at Sportsman's in Lacey on Saturday evening is reading this, I'd like to say that you're a lazy piece of crap and I hope you get fired. I should have gotten the manager when you blew me off so you could go admire the new line of Mossy OakŪ on the other side of the store with your Bubba buddies. That $250 worth of flyrod, reel, flies & case, net etc., sitting there on the counter when you got back? Mine. Hope you had to stay late to put it all back. I guess no one should expect much out of a 45 year old who works retail anyway.
