Chum candy works great but I always seem to cath more fish with variations of a Teeny Nymph; dark green, lime, purple, cerise... they usually aren't as picky about color.

In saltwater a medium speed one foot strip works for me and in a river I get them on the swing.

There is a reasonably good chance your five weight may end up a four piece.
