I prefer a 8' 4 wgt, as the stock tanks I fish also have large bass and big channel cats, too.

Most fun I've had recently with a fly rod is in a buddy's tank that's filled with
channel cat and bluegills that get fed with pea sized pellets of Purina Fish food every other day. Just tie on a size 12 foam spider with rubber band legs and start casting as the catfish come up to feed, and hang on to your rod!!! A 5 to 7 lb channel cat can put up quite a fight on a 4 wt fly rod!
