X2...Nailed it with first post.
Swinging wets for Atlantics and Steelhead is my hands down favorite thing to do.....when I daydream about flyfishing,that is what comes to mind...but in landlocked Alberta I get my swing fix swinging streamers,traditional wets,and soft hackles which are very productive,in fact,in recent years I’ve gravitated more towards soft hackles then anything else because they work so well.
That said....fishing dries is great fun when the fish are looking up and cooperative,but day in and day out soft hackles are da bomb....productive like nymphing with the fun of actually casting/swinging flies.
I could care less how productive indi-nymphing is,it’s a gross way of “flyfishing” imho.....I quit fishing with a bobber when I was 12.😝
If I wanted to nymph under a bobber I’d use(and have used)a centerpin outfit
