Im still learning about trout fishing, but I know that you definately do not want to go all of the way to the hook with your braid. You need a mono or fluoro leader. Trout can see very well and you will not catch many with Braid.
Last year I went out with two other guys and me and one guy were murdering the trout. We were catching 5 to the other guys 1 (maybe). We were fishing on the bottom and he had braid all of the way to the hook. I had braid also, but I had an egg weight and had the braid tied to a swivel. I then had a 20lb fluoro leader from the swivel to the hook. We were all fishing the same rig with live cocahoes, but he had braid to the hook and wasn't catching crap.
