What do I need for hardware?
What about fly gear?
Hopefully some of you trout guys will pitch in your 2 cents.
I have no problems on a stream or river, but am a little lost on a lake.

try and match the hatch as best as you can.nopt always possible
trolling flies would include double shrimps on full sink line and a long leader.
leeches and Bh pheasent tail nymphs are another great choice.
dont troll these guys fast just image a leeches pace crawling across the water as a rule of thumb.
ps:leeches and nymphs dont goto be fished at the bottom.
hardware would include countdowns in size 3-5 usaly nothing bigger. natural colors for alpine lakes and bright colors for stocker bows.
a weight with small spoon attached to 12inches of slack line with 2 circle hooks for worming.
worms are prime food for trout and rarly refuse them if present somewhat naturaly.
always use the lightest line you can get away with spin cast:2-6lb and fly line 5-7x
And if u have no luck theres always catonic leeching.cast out your marabu leech and relax.
if there rising match the hatch or use adams/mosquito.if there cuttys use turks tarantula's
