New to Fly Fishing

What wt do I need for smaller trout? like a 8 pound trout on what size rod? 6wt?

I wouldn't call an 8lber a small trout...8 incher maybe.

Last year I picked up an 8wt fenwick from Canadiantire I managed to bring in a 28lb salmon with the rod, I had to play the fish a bit more as it was taking the rod through its paces. But that being said the rod handled fish in the 10-20lb range with ease and all in all very impressed for it being a 100$ rod.
