Chester,

I've fished over a few selective trout, but I don't go trout fishing all that often. That minimizes my exposure to the selective ones.

As for what's too small, I'm lazy, and tying small flies requires me to wear coke bottle glasses, so I used the STP 25% off coupon to order some dries in 16 & 18 and some Copper Johns, PT, and Prince nymphs in 12, 14, & 16. At less than a buck apiece I'm probably money ahead.
