Depends on the lake, really, and the conditions. I've had good luck with a fly and bubble.
But sometimes a nice spinner is the right move. Sometimes even Powerbait.
My go-to is fly and bubble though.

I feel dirty using bait and lures. Just personal preference, I suppose.

If they're not hitting on the flies, though, you have to switch it up.

If you are taking scouts don't mess with expensive lures. Worm + bubble

Yeah, I didn't know you were taking scouts. Most just care about catching fish
