Um..excuse me? You may want to reconsider the lecture because clearly you know nothing of my experience. I am already very proficient at those techniques and after 35 years of fly fishing might actually be able to teach you a few new ones. This thread however was about a guy just starting fly fishing from a boat. You were making something pretty simple sound pretty complicated to a beginner.
Boat fishing is a different animal than fishing from shore or the rocks. Once I realized that and let go of my traditional trout fishing inspired conventions my success improved dramatically. When my guests on board do the same, their success improves as well.
Feel free to fish any way that you like, however telling a newbie that they need to concentrate on learning upstream presentations and using a floating line to fish from a boat is poor advice.
