Default steelhead setup?

I have some questions re flyrods for steelhead. I have fished them in WI
using spinning gear with mono, and don't like it. A longer rod would
probably make a difference I tend to use mostly yarn flies on snelled
hooks or maybe spawn sacks at times.
I hear folks talking of using 8-9 wt flyrods and either mono or flyline
with leaders for this type of drift fishing. Can someone help me in this
regard? I am looking locally here in the Mpls/St Paul area at some
reasonably priced flyrods and reels. Is an 8-9 wt suitable?
How effective is mono on a flyrod/reel setup?
Any inpup appreciated.
Sully
