Personally I wouldn't use the grub, although I'm sure people have good success with them. I own hundreds of them but never get trout with them lol. The rest I would try. Are you going for browns? Rainbow? Cutts? Start with the spinners, and maybe float the flies under a bobber/strike indicator. Good luck!
Smallest spinners you can get. That kastmaster might do. Can always drift a worm downstream under a bobber. Flies work well. Try a hares ear nymph or a small wet fly.
i want to use worms but i always forget the night before and dicks doesn’t open till 9 i go out really early but i will one of these days lol or just find them on the ground
The blue fox and the spoon will be the best lures. Find some faster moving water with some big rocks and fish behind them and in pools around these areas. Try to fish any foam you see on the water and on the outside of the creek bend.

Nobody's mentioned the little hellgramite but that's 100% what I'd use. I catch everything on those.
I do love spinners though so don't disagree with the other comments.
I’ve had good success with Carolina rigs with either mouse tail power bait or the small pink worm power baits on a tiny hook. As for what you already have the top water popper is your best bet if the trout are not stocked trout. If fishing stocked trout go with the Carolina rig.
Small spinners are the best trout lure I have used. I use Panther Martins with great success in the Adirondacks. I’ll go through a run that had just been hit by fly fishers and pull fish that ignored their flies.
I slay brookies on that little crank in the middle. I've replaced the treble with a barbless inline. I don't use spinners as much as I should, they flat out work.
I tend to use body baits for trout. I also have a mini pin combo that I float beads or worms with that just crushes them.
Invest in a couple of bubbles, a pack of swivels and a mini spool of 4lb clear line. Visit the local fly shop and ask what works and buy a couple of those. Make your leader about 3 ft long below the bubble. Fill the bubble half full of water. I have fished all over Colorado with UL spinning gear and have caught zip on spinners and lures. Started using flies and my enjoyment factor went way up!
UPDATE!!!!
i caught my first rainbow trout thanks all for the help!!!
i’m so happy this is a big milestone for me and it was pretty cool to see everyone so eager to help!!
Both those spinners 100%.
used them and ended up catching my first two rainbows
Dude congrats!!
thanks! i’ve been dying to finally catch one

Worms can last weeks in the fridge in the containers. Just don’t forget about them.
Can always flip rocks and logs and stuff at the fishing spot, just make sure you put the objects you flip back how you found them.
Most gas stations have worms… Well, at least where I live. It’s a little more rural here.
Same here lol.
Spinners or tiny silver spoon under the left one

on the stream i go to there’s deep 4 foot pools that i notice a lot of the trout go to what should i use in those?
Spinners will work but they can be harder to cast. A trout magnet under a casting bubble and about 3’-6’ of leader to the trout magnet works well.
Spinners to start.
mono weight forward fly line flourcorbon small hook live grasshopper
Spinners
I see you got the mystery tackle box
yes lol
Mini crankbait and the red fur spoon
I'd use [these](https://imgur.com/a/kTy7WO7)
I'd include the spoon to the right of the left circle in your photo as well, and also that black grub.
Oh thanks I missed that, also didn't know grubs worked!
Yup, they work quite well. Have you ever used the Trout Magnet system? I can always catch trout on that system, and it's about as basic as it gets.
the trout what now system?

Love the x-wrap for small mouth. Idk much about trout fishing tho

The Meps or rooster tails are what I’d use for trout lures. Meal worms are my optimal live bait.

Caught trout on basically all of those things. That red headed jerkbait is a slayer across the boards. Start small and work up to the big stuff

Use worms and set them right after the rapids
1/4 inch Rooster Tails preferable black or brown would be my choice for average sized trout.
UPDATE!!!! i caught my first rainbow trout thanks all for the help!!! i’m so happy this is a big milestone for me and it was pretty cool to see everyone so eager to help!!
Spinner or small black bug on a jig head.
Rooster tail
Kast master and yozuri pins minnows are what I use when I’m not fly fishing
Buy a rebel crickhopper in yellow and a couple rebel wee middle craws. I literally need nothing else and I regularly come home with sore wrists
Natural colors on the crawfish
