2-4 pound flourocarbon works for me.
do you have to use clear line?
2# clear for me, blue or green a second choice
I use Trilene XL 6# clear on one rig, and the same in 8# on another.
If the area you are fishing isn't too rocky and full of snags you can't beat the Fluorocarbon lines.Cgull is right too, you want to stay with 2-4# test as wild trout are very line shy. If you have snags try using a heavier mono and tying on a leader of 2/4# with a barrel swivel anywhere from 18" to as much as 5 or 6 ' in length. make sure any weights you use are above the swivel. pss7 are a good starting point
I'm with crm3006, Trilene XL. The only difference is I use 4# on my ultra light outfit.
I use 6lb vision flurocarbon on ultra light tackle
6 to 10 lb and i would use clear because trout are not stupid.
clear 4# mono is what I go with , but if you can get away with 2# that's better.
4-6 pound flouro, or mono for a little more distance at the cost of stealth
