When I fish for trout in streams I fish downstream.
I drift red leaf worms or night crawlers throught deep holes, under trees that have fallen over or in th the river. Fish along the bank, if the bank has been eroded, where the river twist or make a sharp turn.
I have never tried spinner baits.
I usually use 6 lb test line and a nice rod. Hold the line as you drift the worm through the hole and you will feel the trout take the bait.
Add some split shot lead weight if the water is moving fast, you want to keep the bait down in the water/hole.
