I agree with others. If you want to have fun, a 6ft/ 3 wt. would be skookum...a 7.5 foot 5 weight would be more versatile.
We always used popping bugs on a short ( 3 ft.) leader and used a sloppy presentation...opposite of trout-the more noise it makes hitting the water, the better.
Longer leader ( 7.5 ft) for sinking bugs/nymphs. The good part about them is a painfully slow process of stripping them in, so the line always remains taut...makes it easy to hook them!
