^What Ralph said^ Get an 8 wt.
If you're going to fly fish for trout, get something else lighter. For salmon of all species get an 8 wt and then when you catch a big coho or a chum or a Steelhead even maybe the rod will have enough backbone to do the job. I have a ton of fun with Pinks on my 8 wt

Plus.an 8# will help to cut through wind better on those ever popular occurrences as well as dealing with current and not overplaying a fish.
Good luck on your decisions.
