Not sure I completely understand what you are saying here. All the fly's you call "junk" do, in fact, represent some type of aquatic life that lives in the stream. So, if we look under rocks and such and find no worms, then we should not fish them, because the fish are not eating them, even if they are?????

Most of this is with tongue in cheek, but fish the way you want.
All I'm saying is consider using your powers of observation, and you are likely to see a myriad of things happening on the stream at any given time. This gives you many choices of places and fish to target, methods to employ, as well as flies to choose.
If after all that you feel choosing to fish a rubber squirmy wormy under a bobber because it's the way you fish and it matches aquatic worms found in the stream, then go right ahead, have fun.
