Help! First time trout fishing…

Hey everyone! So my wife and I are from Florida and do plenty of freshwater fishing, but we’re going on a short vacation to Blue Ridge, Georgia at the end of this month (January). I want to try trout fishing for the first time but will probably only get 1-2 days to attempt. Our house will be right along the Hemptown Creek that empties into Blue Ridge Lake.

I will be using a spinning reel combo so no fly fishing. But I need the absolute best detailed and specific advice you can give me to get me on my first trout please!!

I’ve read up on a few things with using a short leader of very lightweight fluero or mono. But if there are any pieces of advice you can give me to make it as easy as possible PLEASE!! I’m dying to catch even one during our trip and the more specific and detailed the advice is much appreciated, thank you all so much and can’t wait to try it out! I won’t be able to travel very far from that location so most of my fishing will be along that creek and might be able to make it to Blue Ridge Lake itself if I have time.

I’m going to continue to research and watch videos but it’s best to hear it from multiple people on what gear to buy, the shapes, colors, sizes, etc. And what methods or tricks of the trade you guys use. Thanks!!
