Rebel wee or tiny wee crawfish ?

Trout are not shy, they will readily hit d**n near anything.  The most common misconception is that trout need tiny lures.  Tiny lures usually gets you tiny fish or tank scrubbers.  Rapala F5, F7, CD5, and CD7 are my go-to trout lures.  Flicker Shads are also highly effective.  In general, bigger trout will hit a minnow style lure more readily than a small spinner.  Bigger meals mean more energy gained for less energy used.  Spoons also work very well like Little Cleo and Mepps Silver Wolf.  

I can introduce you to some trout that are beyond shy. They swim away Mach 3 when they see line and lure flying thru the air before it even hits the water

Yes, expecially out here in California CNR only rivers in NORCAL and central  eastern California.

They definitely spook here too, but they still hit on bigger baits.  It's usually the bigger browns that spook the second they see you.  The rainbows and brook trout don't unless you walk right up on them.

We’ve got a few places where the trout will only eat like size 28 midges, it’s a total nightmare
