I'm the same way, except that I prefer wet flies. I don't even carry nymphs any more, except for a few zebra midges and the like that I'll put under a dry if the really small stuff is needed. If the fish are all deep, I'll put on a sinking leader and fish streamers.There are plenty of times where I will sit on the bank and just relax rather than tie on a nymph. Never would have done that when I was younger. Doesn't mean I won't nymph, but I would much rather fish a dry. Streamers are a little different, if I'm floating and there's nothing happening on top, I won't hesitate to throw them.
I do a lot of sitting on the bank and relaxing,in part because I'm old and no longer care to spend eight solid hours or so standing up, and in part because I can learn a lot by just watching the river. I almost never fail to catch fish.
