A: 
Yes.

9 weight for average fish, 10 weight for bigger flies and monster fish.

I go a 10 weight even for bass cause I can throw any size fly in any wind conditions with less effort.

casting distance

Details: 
If fishing the salwater flats, does the shorter rod affect the distance you can cast?
What about fighting a large fish? Does the shorter length make it more difficult?

A: 
It will take some getting used to, if you've never thrown a short rod. It's a shorter, faster power stroke. Your timing needs to be crispy.
Now that I'm used to a shorter rod (8-10 wt), I can consistently cast it further than my 9 footers of the same line weights because I can generate more hand speed, and load it faster.
As far as fish fighting, a shorter rod gives you more raw leverage, control, and power on big fish. Note that most big game fly rods (14-16 wt) are only 8 feet long.

A: 
Harvey,
Personally I would go with a longer rod. You will be doing distance casting, extremely long casts and this will be hard with such a small rod. You can do it, but I suggest double-hauling and a good night's sleep before. As well, when fishing the flats or any saltwater it seems, those fish will see you and they will spook. With a longer rod, you will have to struggle less to get it out there and be more precise with your targets. Good Luck!!
