I use conventional drift gear exclusively for steelhead, but I wanted to give it a go with my fly gear. I know a 5wt is too small for winter nates, but wasn't sure about the N.F. Stilly in the summer. I have landed 2-4# trout on my 9' St. Criox Legend rod and Ross Cimmaron reel with NO problems with the rod or drag. Assuming I have the proper strength leader, what can this set-up handle effectively? 6-10# Summer Runs? I want to continue to fish my NF 'honey holes' into the fly-only season without dumping another $1000 in fly gear. (then again, I'm getting married in 1 month, and this might be my only opportunity to 'invest' in my hobbies...heh heh...) Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
