Nice summary. Typically there are a lot of smaller fish rising and I like to use two little guys or more to verify they will try to eat the fly I have on. If the little fish refuse the fly, in my experience, bigger fish are highly unlikely to strike. This can be especially useful when nothing much is rising and you're tossing an attractor. Also, I like to bring a collapsible plastic stool that I can sit and wait a few minutes after I get into position. This puts me in a lower position where trout will have difficulty seeing me, and when they resume feeding I can cast to them without moving. It's also a great way to conserve energy.
