If you "want to do some fishing while you travel" I would put 10 lb test Spider Wire on your spinning rod. It's dia is like 2 lb test and will cast well and will work good for trout, grayling, and dolly varden but strong enough for salmon. I landed 2 King salmon about 15 lbs each with this set up.

I found it helpful to stop into local fishing tackle stores and ask for help with the regulations. Have fun.
