    My vote is for the mono, 6pd all day long in the fresh h2o. I'm using braid in the salt tho.

    If you're fishing small rivers, then mono or fluorocarbon all the way through might be the way to go. I can't see that it would make much difference. If you need to do longer casts on bigger rivers and lakes I'd stick with braid mainline. I only have one trout setup, so braid for me.

    I prefer 4- 7lb mono
    Braid gets wind knots and seems just cause more issues especially walking through thick gorse or thistle
    In salt , Braid with a Fluoro leader
