Why? I mean, for sure, it'd be for a specialist rod only. But if I had a 3 wt, and I expected that I'd never cast more than 10-15 ft on the day, then yes, loading it with 6 wt line is entirely reasonable. I've had such situations. Though, to be sure, even my more typical days on brookie streams involve casts up to 20 ft or so. 2 line weights seems more reasonable for most.
My "typical" brookie set up is a 6 wt line on a 4/5 wt rod. Yes, I've loaded 7 wt line on it once or twice, and it was the right decision for those situations.
