If you're using a 6 and 7 wt rod for trout in Utah it sounds like you like heavier rods and maybe go with the 4wt. 8' 6'' is a little long for some of those streams but not all. It certainly should be fine on the lakes. Personally I like a 2 or 3 wt for those streams and and 2-4 wt on the lakes depending on the wind. If the 8'6" is a really good deal buy it. You can always get a 7 ft 2 or 3 wt for the smallest streams later[laugh].
