I always just open the box, and choose the fly that I have the most confidence in, and therefore will fish the hardest with. I only concern myself with basic size and shape should I change flies, but most of the time a trout will take a variety of sizes and shapes of flies at any one time. I keep the flies simple, and focus completely on how I'm showing the fly to the fish. If they like the show, they'll usually eat it if it's remotely close.
I only change my confidence fly if I see fish refusing it with a perfect presentation. Then, I go to the fly I have the next-most confidence in, and that's a different size and shape than the first one was.
It only takes a few to get it right.
