Throw in a fly rod, and if you're not catching them at that point, it probably isn't anything you're doing wrong.
You can obviously use one rod for the three spinning methods I mentioned, but for the sake of convenience and ease, it's nice to have tailored, dedicated rods for each method. The rods don't need to be expensive.

I've actually talked to the caretaker of the pond and he said he thinks people take more than their limit because at the end of the the summer its incredibly hard to catch the trout. So there is a ton of pressure on this pond but I think they're just not active this week. Guess I'll have to go out with a bait rig and wait for the bites.
