I myself would be confident with a spinning rod in any freshwater situation.
With practice and small diameter braid you can work even an undressed hook but myself, I would stay away from flies while spinning where regulations allow. You may do better than expected if the fish are not used to seeing a certain lure/bait.
Along with the mentioned dressed Mepps and rooster tails I world take 1/16 and 1/8 ball jig heads with 2"twister tails in solid white and solid black (at least) and 3"twister tails in solid pearl and grape/silver flake. Perhaps a random selection of 1-3" tubes.
If water is slow I wouldn't be able to resist to at least try a 4"lizard in chartreuse/pepper regardless of elevation.
But the lures I would use the most would prolly be a strike king bitsy minnow in gizzard shad or white/chartreuse back or a good ol live worm or other creature I may find along the banks, where allowed.
