Was planning on going fishing for bass and/or trout sometime soon. Haven't ever gone bass fishing before, can anyone recommend some gear and tips? Also, does anyone know any good spots for either species in Northern Colorado? I would prefer a more secluded lake or stream. Thanks

Jerkbaits always do well for bass.
Trout are always easy to fool with just about everything. Kastmasters and inline spinners.
How far north? Like Delaney north?

Hard to go wrong with nightcrawlers hanging down some from a bobber!

I'm not familiar with that area very much. Google Colorado fishing atlas. It's a site from csu I believe. That will show you some water man

Just go to Horsetooth(Ft Collins) and fish a Bitsy Tube or fish a spinner in Fire Tiger color

If I only had to fish with one lure for Bass it would be a Senko. These rubber worms can be fished in a variety of rigging styles, but I find the Texas rig and Weightless to be the most effective, with the Wacky rig coming in close as well. 5” Senkos using a 3/0 offset worm hook is a good place to start. I tend to have luck with darker earthy colors, but it is good to have a variety. These lures take practice to get good with. Senko fishing is a skill in and of itself. Here is a link to a video that talks about the different rigging styles.

I caught both the other day in a pond by Greeley. On crawlers. Don't get too excited they were both about 8" long.
