The only limitation to flies on a 3-weight will be what you are normally comfortable casting. I throw double buggers on my 3-weight quite often, yesterday in fact. I also caught a 22-inch Rainbow on my 3-weight yesterday. Basically, everything I would throw with my 5 weight, I will throw with my 3-weight. I can't get the distance with my 3-weight that I can get casting with my 5-weight, but I can make a softer presentation with dry flies with my 3-weight then with my 5-weight. I would say you should tie up your favorite bugs, and begin catching fish on your 3-weight. You may tie your flies with less weight to enhance your casting pleasure, but it will probably not be necessary. You are going to love fishing a 3-weight! It is almost the only rod I ever use anymore.

So basically I can use all my old favorites, just tie them a little lighter. How great of a difference have you found in distance? Currently I fish a 5 wt myself. I wanted to get a 3 wt for better presentation and to get a bit more from the 'gills I get.
Any other thoughts?
