Fish deep pools, current seams, undercut banks and brush piles. Anywhere you can find a lot of cover. The native fish will not be out in the open where they're easy to find or get to. With spinning gear, I always use a silver Kastmaaster for trout. If that's common practice in your area, I would take a sharpie and put some extra spots or stipres on your lure, or switch to a mepps or another lure, just so you aren't fishing with the same thing as everyone else.

For the natives try a fly pattern such as a Wooly bugger or Royal Coachman and be very patient
