You really can't cover all of those species with one setup. If I had to choose 1 rod, I would go with a 7 weight. Have you had any previous casting experience before? Do you plan on taking any lessons? A 6 weight might be a little easier to start out with. I don't have any personal experience with Cabela's rods, but I'm sure they make a decent product from the mid range up. For the money, I like the Temple Fork Outfitters Professional series. They make a good blank and have a good warranty.
