A 5 wt. is a bit heavy for me. I have one, but I never use it. On the San Juan, where the fish average 17", I've been using a 2/3 wt. fiberglass rod. It's hell in the wind, but I do get them in reasonably quickly. However, on the Juan you usually don't have to cast more than 20 feet. I use a 4 wt. too, and that's plenty of rod for those fish.
The flies will mostly be small egg patterns, some size 12 buggers and 12-14 nymphs and dries.
I guess I've been influenced by my buddy who is leading our group of 3. He's been going up there for years and uses a 3 wt. In fact, he uses a 3 wt. for all of his trout fishing...except when we went to Alaska.
