If you're talking about stocked ponds, all you need is some powerbait and a pickerel rig, I like to use the rainbow colored stuff (green/yellow/orange swirl with sparkles) and swap out the J hooks with some small #6 (I think) sharp Mustad hooks.
If you're fishing small streams I'd suggest small mepps or panther martins with shinny brass, in yellows, blacks, oranges and maybe greens.
If fishing larger streams and rivers I'd suggest a buzz bomb tipped off with a fly like an electric prince, or even a worm.
A worm will work well in the stocked ponds on a rig or bobber as well.
