One of my favorite lures for rivers and streams are small lead head maribou jigs. Bounce them along the bottom, cast so they are carried into undercut banks and jig them. I've even floated them along below a bobber. They are deadly in sizes 1/32 to 1/8 ounce, depending on the flow.
Black, white, brown, and olive have worked best for me.
Best part is they are cheap, so when you lose one it doesn't hurt. You're not fishing them right if you're not losing some.
I like a 1/64 ounce Trout Magnet jig head with Nikko Stonefly nymphs under a clear casting bobber when the water is shallow, under 24", with the jig/nymph set to drift about 8" above the stream bed. Berkley used to make a 7' light or ultra-light action spinning rod in their "trout dough" series that worked well for this.
I caught my biggest stream trout with a black marabou jig by casting into the water coming over the Bath, NH, dam on the Ammonoosuc River. I put it back so that others might have the opportunity to catch it.
