Would you not be prepared to travel a bit? The borders have some great venues, you will get great sport.
Have you got access to a boat or float tube?

Ok mate,
Obvioiusly fishing from the bank would restrict you a bit if it's big waters. There's a water I fish regular using dead baits and always catch on lures, even from the bank. you just have to adapt, Wade out as far as you can, use a rod for hoofing them out and a lure that want's to be hoofed out. Salmo slider 10cm version is normally the winner.
