I would say the same as above as everyone else, but make sure you start at the tail of the pools as since it is really your first time for trout. Then work your way to the head of the pool. Fish are pretty finicky and it you have a bad cast or drift to far could spook fish your not even after.

read the water
face upstream and examine the cuts on the banks upstream of your fishing area. Also take note of the banks that you have passed by already.
The reason you are looking at the banks and actually checking them is to see the typical pattern of wash out from high water..
wash out equals hiding spots for big fish.

I have only been on 2 fly fishing trips, but I am hooked for life already. I can't give you alot of tips on the fly fishing part, but I grew up wading and fishing the creeks and small streams and there are 2 tips that are very important to me. I suppose everyone will laugh at this and it is funny, but I am sincere in this as well. 1st go to the bathroom before putting on waders and 2nd pack some TP with you. It may not help on this trip, but sooner or later you'll be glad you did.:D

try a wet fly
those picky trout in clear water with lots of little micro-currents drive me nuts. my answer is wet flies. maybe the fish haven't seen so many, or maybe the flies are less subject to drag, but they work better for me.

Stealth. Don't let them know you are there until the hook-set.
