The only rod I have used on the Guadalupe for the past 7 or so years is a 10′ 3wt. (a Sage ESN, to be specific).
First, I have great confidence is saying that presentation trumps pattern most of the time.
But . . . pattern does matter. So, here is my recommendation: do your research on what patterns are used most often on the Guadalupe, and then fish with something else.
Soon after the fish are stocked, they see, or are hooked by, the same patterns over and over again. So, if everyone is fishing a given pattern, it is a good idea to avoid it.

I agree that treble hooks are not a very good idea. But, if you like to spin fish, you can get some very effective Japanese small spoons that come with single barbless hooks from Tenkarabum.com. They are, in my view, more effective than streamers.

That’s a great idea. But even better is to attend one of the stockings. That way you can: become familiar with our leases help stock fish, and meet and chat with your fellow anglers.
BTW, there aren’t many cans in the river, but there are some. Quite a few, actually, in certain spots.
