Default Will 4lb Fireline spook trout?

I'm sorry that this is not a fly fishing question, but it is a trout
question. Will 4lb smoke colored Fireline scare trout? I normally fish
for smallmouth and will be on a trout stream in a few weeks. The
Fireline is much thinner than 4 lb mono or fluoro but not clear. Plus
it casts farther. I'm wondering if the casting distance, plus the
"thinness" will make up for the lack of "clearness".


I used 4lb test in several different colors for trout spin fishing for years
without problem. I do, however, HATE the Firewire line in the lower test
strengths because the stuff reacts like a watch spring on the reel spool. But,
hey, if you already use it and like it for bass, it should work okay for trout.
