Are you wanting to fish, or set on the shore with poles in the water waiting?
If your wanting to cast fsh I would use spoons, Rooster Tails, and Joe Flies. Use a moderate retrieve. Also trout seem to like the color pink on bright sunny days, and those spinners which look like live bait.
For bank "sit and wait" style fishing use a big enough hook to put two Berkley PowerBait Eggs on (I use the White and Sunrise colors, they work well for me.) Also, slide a mealworm on the end of the hook with the two eggs, cast out as far as you can, set your pole in a pole holder, attach a bobber or something to the line between two of the eyes on the pole and let it hang about 7-10 inches below the pole, when the bobber raises your getting a bite, once it rises to the pole, set the hook!
As for rigging for the "Sit and wait" style I use 6lb test line, use as big as a worm sinker as you want, based on how far you need to cast, place a bead on the line after the sinker, then tie a barrel swivel to the line. (This allows the line to slide through the sinker so the fish does not feel the tension of the sinker, the beat acts to protect your knot.) On the other end of the barrel swivel tie a leader approx. 12-14 inches in length, then your hook to the other end, bait up, and your ready to rock and roll!
Happy Fishing hopes this helps!
