Would this be a good setup for streams and ponds, some Erie steelhead too? What would you change?

I’ve been using a ugly stick medium combo from Walmart but looking to upgrade to a lighter setup

Depends on stream size. If you want a multipurpose rod I’d go to a 7’ ML. Check out TFO professional series, the triumph is well known to snap tips off.
I have a 6’6” and 7’ light action professional for trout and they’re awesome rods!

Yes for trout, no for steelhead. You want at least a medium for chrome, and probably a longer rod if you plan to float fish for them.

I have a similar setup – 6’4” light fast panfish series with a 1000 size Shimano Nasci, does great in the creeks and small rivers.
But for larger rivers, ponds and inland lakes I find myself picking up my 7’ medium light extra fast with a 2500 size reel as I may also hook into a decent bass in a lot of those waters
