Fish get hungry during the winter and are more likely to go for static bait then flies due to slow movement and desperation.
During the warm months they get more picky and may only want to eat still living things, so flies are your best bet there so they have less chance to scrutinize it. They are a lot like cats.
That's all in general though. There are better tips for specific species.
Also most waterways are picked clean year round these days, leaving behind only very clever fish that don't fall for our BS. You should start out at a stocked pond/lake in a campground. They will often advertise this and let you go fishing for a small fee (or none at all possibly).
