Go with a 10wt
I recommend 10 wt setup. Casting large streamers or clouser minnows in the wind requires a rod w/more backbone than an 8 wt.
I have a bunch of rods and reels w/line. Contact me if you want to check out a couple of my old setups.
I will be fishing for the few next weeks, after that I will be free on the weekends
