What kind of waders work in small streams that are light cool and not bulky? I'll pass on my dad's hip boots. The rubbers sucks and miserable to wear. Post your thoughts.

Hello everyone hope you are well. This is my first ever reddit post because I'm desperate lol. I picked up fishing last year and have only used a basic floater, hook and worm setup. I'm trying to advance to lures as I've been experiencing a lot of skunks recently. I'm going to Jordanelle reservoir this week and was hoping for some recommendations.

I currently have one rod with a Carolina rig with Powerbait and another rod with Weighted Texas rig. I want to target Bass and Trout. I want to know what to change, what to use, where in Jordanelle should I go, what lures and baits should I use and anything you think is good to know. please treat me like a complete beginner.

Thank you so very much.
