The good thing about this post is you are going to hear both sides of the coin so to speak[
]
I use the sink putty all the time. I keep it in a pant pocket in the colder months. I prefer it because you can stretch it out but keep a smaller size, and a lot easier to remove.
I also Tight-line and indicator. Small streams like Uinta, Millcreek the Cottomwoods, I would tight-line for sure.
Provo, Weber, Rock Creek, Strawberry River, (plus many in Idaho) I will use both but I am a sucker for Indys as I can Cast to other side. Size of indy changes on skinny water is all. I have even used those Uni Bobbers as an Indy.
Generally the river I fish, the bottom doesn't change that much...any of them. I find I am adjusting very little.
I do believe in casting short and working my way across a river, but if the middle of that river is blasting...the indy comes out.
Caught my biggest browns watching that indy go down then up stream,
As far as the Dry Fly purist. I get that, but Nymphing was way before dry fly fishing so Old school would say ...try that nymph or that wet fly.
