I think that keeping your existing TT, at least for now, is a wise move. See how it goes and then maybe splurge on a TC.
For whatever it is worth, we use our little TT (12 foot box!) as a base camp for boondocking. Each day of the trip, we leave the trailer in place at the campsite and use the truck as our back-country vehicle to take us to remote trailheads. Many of these trailheads would be difficult to reach with a large truck camper due to overhanging branches and very rough terrain. That is especially true in the Eastern Sierra and Colorado.
A small pop up truck camper would be more agile but would be a little more cramped.
So if you want to go exploring and to visit a lot of different fishing spots, a TT/TV combo may give you more options.
On the other hand, if you want to actually camp right on a remote creek or lake, then a small TC may be the way to go.
